Politics is an art of the impossible but in the era of
flagging emotions and changing positions, politics has become an art of the possible.
Those who had thought that Narendra Modi will be a silly customer in national
politics, had no idea that why Modi was a different political creature.
Let’s not forget that he had given up on RSS agenda
long back, when he put down his feet and refused to touch Ram mandir issue.
Modi was perhaps a lone voice in the BJP, who did this. Modi’s insistence
to go to the polls with development agenda had basically no takers within his party.
Modi is a hugely changed person, who seems to be on a mission makeover. It started on the day when he entered the Parliament premises. Those who had raised doubts over his democratic credentials,
had to rethink, repent.
Much before this during BJP parliamentary party meeting, a teary
eyed Modi had publicly chided party patriarch L.K Advani for a different
reason.
Modi stole the limelight and the headlines thereafter. There is no
comma or full stop after this. With this, Modi won all opposition within his
party at least.
Modi’s relentless tirade to win opposition parties' heart continues. If congress thought that Modi will anyway show his high headedness. Perhaps, they
were proven wrong. His first speech in the parliament did the trick. Even opposition
leaders were seen thumping they desk after his speech. Some of them admitted
that Modi’s speech was "awesome". His announcement that he will not move an inch
without the opposition cut the ice.
The shrill tone used for Sonia Gandhi during the election
campaign was completely missing. Modi was seen with folded hands before Sonia. Also
his political bête noir Rahul found a warm handshake from Modi, which was not
expected by the Congress.
Modi did not allow victory rally to happen after the
historic win, was testimony to the fact that Modi remains grounded. He wants to do away with traditional politics, in true sense of term. But how will he do it, when will he do it, remains to be seen.
