How to sum up the general elections 2024?
Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi, worked tirelessly for “Sabka Vikas”, in return did not get “Sabka votes”, it is as simple as that. Elections in democracies are all about unprecedented developments, realignments, and strange links and bonds, in order to achieve that perfect number. The target of 400+ seats was a colossal personal goal, set by one of Bharat’s most dynamic politicians, about having the daring to be a visionary. But, Indian elections are a collision of vested interests, of self-centered communities competing for exclusive privileges, public subsidies, and priorities. Then, there are invisible players, masquerading as NGOs, journos, students, farmers, and human rights activists, bankrolled by foreigners, all plotting an ending, that deals out fate, in a way that nobody can predict.
The elections were steered to a great extent, by foreign religious followers, mislabelled as ‘Minority’, who are groomed in the strategy of bulk voting versus the apathetic insouciance of the amorphous Phantom called ‘majority’. The I.N.D.I. Alliance was forged and relied on the bulk voters, who even had the brazen audacity, to flex their monetary muscle power, by flying down voters from different locations in the Middle East. Kerala had witnessed an exodus of visitor-voters, who had only a single point agenda – Stop Modi. The BJP was nonchalant, bloated like Humpty Dumpty, basking in over-confidence, that they would cross the 400 seats mark, which they had identified as their new benchmark. The Exit-Polls, Astrologers, friendly journalists, self-proclaimed Psephologists, Satta bazaar gamblers, and stock market analysts, all were like added extra minerals, in the overconfidence soup that was being savoured across the country.
Nobody was reading, the suppressed suspicions in the public mind as to how investigatory lapses derailed mega cases in Kerala, like the 2020 gold scam, the case of 2,500 kg of methamphetamine, seized from a ship in the Indian Ocean in May 2023, supposedly sent from Pakistan, the earlier May 2022 case, seized jointly by the DRI and the Indian Coast Guard, of 218 kg of heroin, case of two containers allegedly containing fake currency in Kochi, the Exalogic case involving the Kerala Chief Minister’s daughter and many more other cases. Similarly, in Tamil Nadu, the Rs.2000 crore drug racket involving DMK functionary Jaffer Sadiq, has not seen any momentum. But what about the incredible hundreds of crores of rupees? Was it used to derail Mr. Modi’s juggernaut? Nobody believed that a motley crowd of ‘Lagaan’ players would be able to jointly snatch the victory cup from Modi.
Disturbing news now comes that a Europe-based Disinfo Lab has published an 85-page analysis of foreign influence in the Indian elections. The report blames two organizations and one individual, namely, the US-based Henry Luce Foundation (HLF), George Soros’s Open Society Foundation (OSF), and the French Self-proclaimed Indologist and political scientist Christophe Jaffrelot, whose ‘Caste Census’ in India became the Congress Party’s election manifesto. He also authored “Muslims in a Time of Hindu Majoritarianism”.
Stones and candles were being stockpiled and kept in readiness to celebrate an unbelievable victory, that could happen if the foreign gods and goddesses relented. But, it all ended like a one-day cricket match, at the end of the day, whom to compliment, the winner who managed a Pyrrhic victory, or, the opponents, who, aided by foreigners, who could have grabbed the crown?
The BJP can ill afford the luxury of neglecting the meddling foreigners, their shady institutions, and the local collaborators. They need to be brought to book, for many elections are slated to happen in 2026, apart from by-elections in certain constituencies. Many neglected issues have been pending for too long, like a population policy, freedom of Hindu temples, judicial reforms, bureaucratic reforms, resolving Manipur drug trafficking crisis, and tackling foreign religions conversion agenda, apart from endemic issues like the Indo-China border issues, Kashmir, and wiping out extremist organizations operating with impunity within the country. Grooming the next generation of leaders should be of paramount importance as 2029 will see a new crop of leaders in all political parties. Quite an uncomfortable agenda for any democracy.
