It is either extreme diffidence or height of hubris that Modi has had to make hundreds of speeches in a span of three months .These are getting increasingly seat specific and hence self contradictory.He had first started off on his Gujarat model of development .As time elapsed both the message and direction are lost and the nation is no longer privy to a PM's road map post elections.Modi has clearly abdicated the rostrum to the speech writers and perhaps reduced to the level of a chief Pracharak !. His needless barb against the EC is the outcome of this..Modi and the BJP are sadly,lost in the by lanes of punch lines and rhetoric. Men and women in high office must possess the ability to weigh and reflect on the advice given by their party men ,but nevertheless plough a lonely furrow of personal tenets.
Any electoral malpractice invites action of the EC which is empowered to act on its wisdom.Modi now and Indira Gandhi earlier ,would need to be faulted on this score.Mrs Gandhi caught up in the aftermath of her disqualification by the HC on electoral misdemeanour went on to impose Emergency. The consequences of which were far reaching for her personally besides the damage done to the nation in very many ways. Modi has a great opportunity however to act towards restoring his personal image as an eminent leader and that of the institution of the EC.Respect for constitutional edifices only elevates the standing of political leaders bringing greater moral authority to their governance. |
