Why Prime Minister Candidate Narendra Modi Will Be Bad News For India
Opposition candidate Narendra Modi just won the Indian elections with an overwhelming margin of victory. Although the final vote count isn't yet in, it's all but assured that Modi and his party will take the first majority victory since the 1984 elections, avoiding the need to form a coalition government, as the Associated Press reported.
Finally, the US government has scheduled a high level diplomatic meeting with Modi in early February 2014, just a few months before the general election in India. Ambassador Nancy Powell’s recent meeting with Modi in Gandhinagar, the capital of Gujarat, was a significant step by the US government in order to thaw the standoff between Modi and the US which might not bear fruit immediately. “We can confirm the appointment (between Modi and Powell),” a US State Department spokesperson said of the meeting. “This is part of our concerted outreach to senior political and business leaders which began in November to highlight the US-India relationship.”
I was not able to fight my way through, as they were both involved in it. I told Modi what the CBI had found that the charges were false, and what the Supreme Court's ruling was not guilty on all counts. The CBI had asked the state government to take action against the police officers responsible for malicious allegations, but they sat on it without divulging what they were doing about it. When the Kerala government wanted to go ahead with the case even after that, the court quashed it with heavy strictures. I also told him about the compensation that I have demanded from the state and Union governments.
Narendra Damodardas Modi is a man on a mission. And with his recent anointment as BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, NaMo seems to be clawing his way to the top of the echelon. He is also Gujarat's longest serving Chief Minister. In fact, it was his popularity in Gujarat that brought him in the limelight to set him up for a larger political role at the national level. Charismatic, shrewd and enigmatic he perfectly represents a new age leader that our country deserves. His journey so far hasn’t exactly been a walk on the red carpet with oodles of controversies surrounding him.
Five hundred and fifty million voters elected Mr. Modi and the BJP with a landslide majority of about 282 seats out of the Parliament of India’s 543 total seats; his coalition, comprising of numerous regional parties that have allied with Mr. Modi and his BJP, further bring Mr. Modi’s seat count in the Indian Parliament to around 338. No party has ever ruled the Parliament of India with a complete majority on its own since 1984. Mr. Modi’s single party majority, the first in 30 years, is therefore rightfully being hailed as what will be one of the most stable governments in modern India’s history.
