The Prime Minister Modi has taken a jibe at the opposition leaders questioning their credentials as far the corruption is related.
Their ability to match his aura. Calling it a conglomeration of disparate groups those who are trying to make a rag-tag alliance that may not stand at par with his government.
Ideally, on such matters what is expected from a PM is silence and noncommittal posturing.
He is the Prime Minister of the country who always remains above many trivial political narratives spun out by opponents in a pre-poll climate.
But, as it appears that some amount of fear has entered into the Saffron camp as os evident from certain innuendoes fired from the PM himself rather than from any of his cohorts which would have ideally good.
‘Sare opposition ke to mein akela hi kaafi hoon’ ( I am alone to take on the entire opposition). Such jibes from him somehow manifest the defensive ferocity and the haste of breathing life into a supposedly moribund NDA.
Else why the BJP is trying to re-assemble the splintered groups of the NDA? As a verbal palliative against any sagging moral may be.
What is that the Prime Minister is seemingly attempting to side-step. The major issues like common man’s plight facing the brow-beating inflation at all front, and to pepper over those issues now the present dispensation taking resort in other (although not so negligible) like Chandranayan and other soft issues like Yoga and all that.
Were they to mitigate the basic issues at home, can the Moon-trip of ISRO play any pivotal role at addressing the bottom-based plights of the people?
We in India cannot sit and play the role of a moral arbitrator to dilute the Russuan-Ukarine imbroglio crisis while we turn out heads from other burning issues which awaits the PM’s attention like Manipur that is still in an inferno of an ethnic clash and deaths.
