2014 was a historic mandate,a mandate against corruption, mandate for change. Narendra Modi captured the nations imagination with a call for development - sab ka saath sab ka vikas. After decades of disappointment, hearing the same old cliched slogans from the Congress people saw someone authentic in his call for developing India.
3 years later this man still remains sincere and purposeful to the cause of development, people are still voting in droves for him and his party. Setbacks in Delhi and Bihar apart he has led the party to success in other state elections and grown its base. BJP has effectively replaced Congress as the only party with Pan India presence,
While the opposition is stuck in its narrative of communal, secular, anti modi agenda, Modi and BJP have taken the nations agenda to a more purposeful direction. People are willing to accept the direction and risks being taken by the PM. Demonetization was supposed to be a death knell for the BJP, it turns out the opposite. People were willing to give chance to a man who is sincere is his efforts to clean up the society of blackmoney. They are willing to listen to "Man ki baat" on various aspects he is tackling to get the nation back to shape. Opposition parties should tune into "Man ki baat" the PM lays out his vision so articulately on the show.
Opposition led by Congress is deaf to the new India and its aspirations. Their leadership is tired and bereft of new ideas. How long can your agenda be anti-modi. While you were busy being that the BJP has caught the attention of the poor who now vouch for it as their vehicle for redemption from poverty. The PM has crossed the barrier of caste, religion and other divisions to be the pan India leader perhaps last seen at the time of Pandit Nehru.
Opposition for now seems to be happy with the students noise in DU, JNU etc trying to score brownie points talking about freedom of speech, they forget India is huge and beyond universities. Until they change their narrative they are condemned to be what they are - small
