  1. Another relevant and thought provoking presentation from SG. Yes, the electorate needs viable choices… But….I have a few points very briefly, (reams can be written on each) as follows:- 1. Why defeat Modi in the first place.? Defeating Modi (or any HOG/Government can not be an aim of the opposition). There is a Nation to be governed. 2. I do not suppose that economy is an issue as it is being handled fairly well in the obtaining circumstances. 3. The reports are that Indian foreign policy has placed it in a very comfortable position among the comity of Nations. 4. One can’t fault the administration too much (some failures/mistakes are always part of any governance….one has to only look at 75 years of Independent India to realize that) in general matters of governance and policies. 5. Handling of security has NOT weakened, given the long history of long unresolved and nebulous Northern borders. 6. If it is politics…here is a take. The Hindutva or rather “anti-Hindutva” and” secular” are no more relevant in Indian politics. The refrain is if political parties can be parochial (TMC, SS, DMK, TRS etc..), religion based (Muslim leagues, Akali etc..), Clan based (Yadavs, Gujjars etc.) and Dalit based (BSP etc.) or Dynastic (INC,SS, Yadavs, DMK, TC etc..) why can’t there be a party which is “Hindu” based? (I have my own take on this “Hindu” myth). What is the difference in any of these approaches? In electoral democracies every political party will attempt to create a strong faithful voter base. Probably BJP is doing just that. (BTW “Hindus” in droves are not blindly flocking to BJP ). THAT is a natural process in democracy. The perception of exclusion is just because the majority are not minority!!! That is also natural. In such an environment it is difficult to separate the wrong from the right in Indian politics – like it or not. And is that not part of diversity too? Can you have diversity with the exclusion of the majority? Tail piece. Before anything, the opposition has to convince “we the people” that they will do a better job for the Nation. So just a defeat will surely not “deliver “ the Nation from “evil”.

  2. @RK2022 RK, I disagree. SG has not said he wants Modi defeated. ThePrint is only reporting and doing a good job at that. Discuss points and not the commentator. Enjoy.

  3.  @pardeeptandon  pst, what is whatsapp? And pst a view is a view which ( even I do not claim) may not always be the correct view. Discuss points, don’t involve characters of narrators. If you don’t like my view, I will fully understand and thank you for your counter views. Enjoy.

  4.  @uvg319  Umaid. Good points. Yes, the deficiencies and inefficiencies of any government should be highlighted, discussed and remedies sought. This or any government is not without faults. Parliament is meant for just this and not for heckling and haggling. THAT and there is exactly how Governments should be challenged and exposed so the people can make right choices. Enjoy.
