When we find a person speaking in a very high tone and boasting of so many miracles we become very much hopeful of getting some never expected results, but when it proves to be of just hooting, the real concern is very much inevitable and same has become the talk of the town about the various statements emanating from responsible authorities and from those sitting at the helm of affairs after Uri attack. Our PM breaking his silence at Kozhikode at the BJP conclave and his vision ‘Maan ki Baat was just the repetition of the threatening statements which are issued after every such incident which we Indians are habitual of hearing since day one after coming to power in the country of this BJP government. The only difference seen was the tone it was more harsh and full of power pack as we find our PM always charged in full whenever such statements are to be issued. It is the miraculous power of mesmerising oratory which makes everybody to feel that it is only our Modi ji capable of dragging out the country and its population from the sufferings of the common man ranging from across the border, within the country and from every house. Here we must realise that many Sikanders vanished into the air. But if we scroll down the web page prior to the election and various promises and commitments of the party now in power, we come across so many promises, commitments and dreams put into the mind of common man, we shudder to express them. The most lucrative promise by none-else than Modi ji of providing Rs. 15 lacks in every individual’s account, ‘Sab Ka Sath, Sab Ka Vikas’ , bringing black money in foreign accounts, to do away autocratic rules and what not were some of the key factors responsible for pneumatic fever which paralysed the voters of their thinking power. The corruption factor promoted by Congress, and its dislike owing to incumbency factor also went in favour of the BJP, which was rooted to power at the Center. After coming to power, the NDA’s main thrust remained in announcements of various schemes in bulk and rebranding many existing schemes launched by the previous governments such as ‘Total sanitation campaign’ rebranded as ‘Swatch Bharat Abhiyan’ , ‘Save child’ as ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padao’, ‘Planning Commission’ as ‘Niti Ayog’ and many more. It was just nothing but ‘old wine in new bottle’. The Fatwa issued to all MP’s to adopt at least one village of their constituency to be developed as modern village, we find that in the mad race and to please their big boss, the MPs jumped into the race, how far the positive results are there we never know about it. During inter and intra touring of many areas, it was observed that the voice of the common man was whispering that this adaptation of one village has badly affected the other villages from development, which would have bettered them from MP Fund meant for the whole constituency and not just for one village. We can claim of our area that one village ‘Saddal’ in District Udhampur adopted by our MP who happened to be minister now has yet to see the light of the day and people of the area are almost demonstrating everyday for the relief as they were the sufferers of last year’s tragedy. A frequent trend seen is the announcements of schemes worth crores of rupees now as they are inching towards the next elections. What were they doing earlier when almost three years had passed of their present set up? It is also observed that mass contact programme by BJP is now increasing under various banners. This also speaks of its erosion from the mass due to its approach not in correct form. Whatever fuss is created its credit goes to paid national channels that always keep airing the silhouette of the Central Government especially Modi ji, who are just busy in keeping the mind of viewers always refreshed about it. If we come out of the silver screen of hype created, we find zero relief to the common man from this government at the domestic level and just flow of various lucrative schemes for the public which sounds well but like a cracker of Dewali which just burst with loud voice and no results. The implementation of these schemes is just confined to papers and advertisements only and resulting only as ‘Mungeri Lal Ke Hasin Sapne’. The foreign trips for investment in India is claimed to bring positive results but present cannot be ignored. We are clamoring to get Pakistan declared as Terrorist State at the international forum but still we have to think of it at our domestic level. An open challenge to Pak that let us fight for corruption, let us fight for development, let us fight for education are some of the lucrative political statements and Uri attack was brushed away just by saying that ’18 jawano ki shhadat khali nahin jaey gi’, is not enough to satisfy the emotions of the public, ‘Yeh ab ek ghisa pita dialogue ho kar rah gaya hai’. If the BJP Government still wants to be in good books of the common masses than on national TVs, then it should respect the sentiments of the people and practically start working for the common people by giving them relief, which is available to Punji Patis only otherwise it will meet the same fate as NDA-I, even of its big slogan of India Shining.
