At least you hold your horses Mr Modi

Using the filthy language or vitiating the atmosphere have become a common trend in India during elections. Several leaders have been whipped by the Election Commission of India(ECI) for breaking the norms, but to no avail. The hate mongers are on their way to leave the atmosphere vicious. For some leaders, using these jives can be understood; it may be their sheer desperation to decipher the Namo wave;  but, for some it may act as a spoilsports. And, if it is coming from a potential source then it does carry weight.

From one week or so, the PM-in-waiting(assuming that he does not meets the patriarch's fate of waiting, and waiting and still waiting) has increased his personal attack on the out going government, manifold. Now in every rally, he is teasing the Congress chairperson along-with his son. Does he thinks that using personal remarks against someone garners votes, and makes the atmosphere euphoric? If he thinks so, he is marring his own persona. Tomorrow, when he becomes Prime Minister, and the neighbours mis-behave, will he taunt them; and will the teasing land India in good weathers? Its time now to think. Does India wants a women-teaser? or a suave man like Mr Nehru or Atalji? I have heard the latter few times and there was no such black comedy in his speeches; yet, he is admired by all for his oratorial excellence.

BJP is on a path of a grand comeback to power at the centre, and no party seems to challenge it. So, its time now, for Mr Modi and his team, to mend their ways, to stop the personal attacks, to rebuild their persona, and to speak out the steps he will take to counter various issues, India is facing now. As the manifestos are out, there is no fear of it being stolen or copied. Go straight Mr Modi ! don't falter and fool Indians, you have a lot of work to do, and at a brisk pace. India has witnessed the fallout of a ' King of Good times' lately, and it does not wish to see another bigmouth to follow the suit.

Interestingly, leaders from every noticeable party has been whipped or tamed by the ECI for breaking the accepted norms and behaviour, and no party can boast of being decent during electioneering. But, concerning the pervading wave, it can be firmly stated that--if an Oxfordian, or a college dropout can use such languages, the tea seller then has every right to use it also--and it is in line of his bragging upbringing.

We have desired for a change, and is bound to happen, sooner than later. But, very few will accept a blabber or teaser to lead a nation--sans decency and decorum. So, hold your horses Mr Modi, you are not going to be a sarpanch, but, Prime-Minister of a nation.
