Dear Derek
Congratulations to you on your Oratory Speech in Parliaments like debate in School (Where teachers gave you Topic - To debate for the Topic or against the Topic).
As a common Voter of India who has watched Political scenario in India as a Voter since turning 18 years in 1982 was dejected to think that politics will never change from a Colonial system or a Family system of “Democracy” in India.
As a non Gujarati after 2002 Riots I was made to understand through News reports and Politicians like you that Modi is the worst criminal in History of Indian Politics. After several years when I got opportunity to travel across Gujarat several times realized that Gujarat was state where it has provided equal opportunity of development among citizen- most amazing example is of Highway side restaurants run mostly by Muslims with neat and clean Vegetarian preparation as per community demands. This started to change my understanding of Modi, I studied more about him and was surprised to know from my colleagues and business people that decision about solving an Issue or establishing a business in Gujarat was done even sometimes in a 3 days’ time, Babudome was not existent in Gujarat in Modi regime. All his family members lived a life of common citizen in small accommodations passing through all difficulties of a common man in day to day chores. I was never a FAN of Narendra Modi or BJP but over the years Modi’s humble background and selfless dedicated hours of hard work without a holiday started to shift my thoughts towards Modi. Only thing constant during his tenure of 14 years as Chief Minister was that most Political/Judicial/Socialites personalities kept attacking him even forcing the World to boycott him over “Gujarat Riots”.
I was more interested in his charm when despite such strong editorial and political bashing in 2014 People of India elated him to be the Prime Minister of India, he most humbly accepted the job as “Pradhan Sevak” with warning those termites who have eaten up roots of India in last 68 year under garb of “Democracy”. Again publishers/writers/journalist/politicians were on WAR against Modi’s elated status. He kept on working without looking back or replying to his critics
- His dedication for the country and forward vision about development made him and India stand tall among World Leaders.
- His Sweet and Sour approach towards our neighbors made his policies very clear- behave or face consequence and result is reduced terror.
- His approach to Make in India and Sell in India is promising us to see millions of jobs in near future.
- His efforts for making digital identity of every Indians made us realize we are unique.
- His effort for electrifying whole India is like giving eyes to every Indian.
- His efforts for Bank accounts and direct transfer to all Indians are like a boon where we see money reaching directly to people without single rupee in bribe.
- His efforts of Road/Rail networks prove the real development of nation lies in its connectivity.
- His respect for Indian Defense forces, Engineers, Doctors, Scientist, Teachers is applaud able.
People like you, politicians like Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Mamta Banerjee, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Lalu Yadav, Mayawati, Farouq Abdullah, Arvind Kejriwal, Sitaram Yechuri, Sharad Pawar and many others, we don’t care about you anymore as you have nothing to say against Modi but just to keep barking misguide and divide us over Modi’s cloth, Modi’s Wife or his scheme like “Demonetization”. How stupid it sounds when you constantly rake issue of “Demonetization” everywhere but trust me every citizen who has 1% love for nation understands the worth of it, simplest example is earlier only few thousand paid Income-Tax now millions will pay Income-Tax .
Now, after years of seeing his thankless attitude of working for our safety, security, honor, pride has made me not a “FAN” but a great admirer of Modi. Please don’t try debating that these work every Government did, we the common educated class very well understand this and please search your soul and tell are you doing justice for your generations to come?
So, my very humble advise to you is Change yourself before Public Change you. It’s no more drama days in Parliament or public stage, work for people of India lest you lose whatever your ancestors earned.
Best Wishes
Rakesh Srivastava
