Should Modi lose because he is winning

In the profession of journalism, we encounter lot of people, with diverse ideologies, opinions, who expresses their strongest views about governance, PM Narendra Modi, corruption, black money, Arvind Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, Rahul Gandhi and on everything.

In the run up to the #Delhi polls#, we face severest critics, who have reserved their choicest advices about Modi government, and why it has ‘failed’ Indian voters.

Now when we are in the mid of Delhi poll campaign, a “fresh apprehension layered in caution” has surfaced. I will try to summarise it for record, some of them are;

1. Modi has been winning, his juggernaut should be stopped. (मोदी पर लगाम लगनी चाहिए)

2. BJP must lose Delhi, otherwise Modi will become dictator.(दिल्ली जीत गया तो बहुत ख़राब होगा)

3. Why Modi is using ministers in poll campaigns, why is Modi campaigning in Delhi?

4. Modi is over ambitious, he should be reined in. (किसी को कुछ नहीं समझता है)

5. If BJP comes to power social fabric and multi-ethnicity is in danger.( दिल्ली जीत गया तो देश की एकता को खतरा होगा.)

6. Modi is danger to smaller parties.(छोटी पार्टियों को खा जायेगा मोदी)

7. There is no Modi wave, it has waned. He is such a waste.( अब मोदी वेभ नहीं रहा)

8. Whatever kejriwal says is true (na khaata na bahi jo kejriwal kahe wahi sahi)

9. Kiran Bedi, herself, is a dictator, is a failure.(कम बड़ी डिक्टेटर नहीं है किरण)

10. Rahul Gandhi is a gone case now. Congress will win less than 5 seats in Delhi.(राहुल का अब कुछ नहीं हो सकता, इसलिए कांग्रेस को ५ सीट)

Obama came to help Modi win Delhi polls?

Funnier is when US president, Barack Obama, arrived India to attend Republic day celebrations, lot of people started saying that Modi has invited him to win Delhi polls.

As far as I know Obama’s visit must have been planned and cleared much in advance. At least, much before Delhi poll was announced.

 And how, Obama will impact Delhi polls? Is it only because Modi was shown with Obama in various meeting, forums side by side?

Modi was seen with CEOs advocating investment for India. Modi was seen making tea for Obama? It was poll gimmick! Or Obama should have been allowed to make tea for Modi.

Was Modi trying to Lobby for Pakistan?  If these are the allegations, apprehensions, I find them shocking and childish.

Merely one week to go for polls, let the people decide, which party is better to rule Delhi. More than one dozen surveys have already come, fate of the parties are being decided in our Air conditioned studious.  TV channels are declaring results in dime and dozens.

Journalists, media houses, who have been getting unbridled favors during UPA regimes, will not change their perceptions.

On two occasions, Kiran Bedi was shown, not very courteous to journalists.

Admittedly, Kiran Bedi is not as suave, camera friendly and sweet talker as Kejriwal.

So was Narendra Modi couple of months back. It’s altogether another story, which I will talk about later.
