'नमो पंख' लगाकर उड़ने को बेकरार

कानपुर, कार्यालय प्रतिनिधि/ हमारे संवाददाता : उनकी आंखों में कुछ कर दिखाने का जुनून है। देश की चरमराती व्यवस्था में जान फूंकने की कुव्वत, मोदी इज माई होप..। यह उनकी सोच है, जो बुद्धा पार्क की विशाल रैली में नरेंद्र मोदी को सुनने आए थे। 'जागरण' ने जब युवा, बुजुर्ग और मुसलमानों से बात की तो उनके अंदर मोदी के प्रति प्यार साफ झलका। वे बोले कि हमारी उम्मीदों को नमो ही पंख लगा सकते हैं।

मोदी बहाएंगे विकास की गंगा

बीकाम छात्रा नेहा मिश्रा व आईआईटी छात्र सौजन्य, आरती व कंचन ने कहा कि छात्रों को लैपटाप, टैबलेट व बेरोजगारी भत्ता बांटने से काम नहीं चलेगा। युवाओं को रोजगार चाहिए, तभी असली समस्या खत्म होगी। आईआईटी छात्राएं पूनम, दीपा व अर्चना ने कहा कि हमें रोजगार मिलेगा तो लैपटाप व टैबलेट स्वयं ही खरीद लेंगे। मोदी ने जैसी विकास की गंगा गुजरात में बहायी है, वह पूरे देश में बहनी चाहिए। बीटेक कर रहे योगेश शर्मा व अतुल सिन्हा कहते हैं कि रोजगार बढ़ाकर बेरोजगारी दूर की जाए। देश में रोजगार की संभावनाएं अधिक होंगी तो युवाओं को परेशानी नहीं होगी। पत्रकारिता की पढ़ाई कर रहीं प्रतिष्ठा सिंह व श्रुति शुक्ला के मुताबिक दूसरी सरकारों ने युवाओं के लिए कुछ नहीं किया। हमारी नजर मोदी की ओर है, इसलिए हम उन्हें यहां सुनने आए हैं।

यूपी से ज्यादा गुजरात में सुरक्षित हैं मुसलमान

नरेंद्र मोदी का क्रेज मुस्लिमों के बीच भी दिखाई दिया। मुस्लिम युवकों ने नमो नमो का जाप कर मोदी को अविवादित नेता बताया। रैली का हिस्सा बनने कल्याणपुर के इम्तियाज मुस्लिम युवकों के साथ बुद्धा पार्क पहुंचे थे। मोदी की अल्पसंख्यक विरोधी छवि के बारे में पूछने पर बताया कि सभी आरोप बेबुनियाद हैं। मोदी बेदाग हैं। यहां इरफान अहमद, मो. असलम, मो. आसिफ, सफी अहमद, मो. साजिद हुसैन, जाहिर अहमद आदि आए थे।

--------

बुजुर्गो को भी भाए मोदी

हमार जिंदगी तो गुजर गे बच्चन का एइसन जिंदगी न गुजारे देब। ई खातिर हिन आए हैं। कोउ हमार तकदीर बदले तो काहे न ओके सुनी। और संगी साथी राहे तौ भीड़ मा बिछड़ गे।'

अगनू, कटरी गांव

मोदी को प्रधानमंत्री बनाने आए हैं। मोदी नाम की हवा बह रही है। युवाओं में जोश है। इस जोश को हम बूढ़े थोड़ा धक्का देंगे तो मोदी नैया पार लग जाएगी।

रामप्रकाश सिंह, रायबरेली

एक-एक बूंद से सागर भरता है। एक-एक आदमी से मैदान भरेगा और एक-एक वोट से देश की सरकार बनेगी और यह एक आदमी (मोद&#2368 देश की तकदीर बदलेगा।

जयकरन सिंह, शिवाजी नगर

----------

उम्मीद लेकर पहुंची महिलाएं

पूरा देश मोदी से उम्मीद लगाए है। हम भी उनका दम देखने आए हैं। गृहस्थी का बजट सही रहे और महिला के साथ हो रहे अत्याचार थमें, यही उम्मीद है।

पारुल सिंह, वर्किंग वूमेन

मनरेगा में काफी समय से पैसे का भुगतान नहीं किया गया। हम यहां उम्मीद लेकर आए हैं कि मोदी प्रधानमंत्री बनेंगे तो सारी समस्याएं हल हो जाएंगी।

गुले ऑसमी, मनरेगा में कार्यरत

बेरोजगारी और गरीबी बढ़ती जा रही है। अपराध इतने बढ़ गए हैं कि कब कौन चपेट में आ जाए कोई नहीं जानता। सभी को उस व्यक्ति को सुनना चाहिए जिसने गुजरात में बहुत कुछ करके दिखाया हो।

नम्रता गुप्ता, शिक्षिका

REVEALED: ‘Unreal’ world of #Feku Narendra Modi
Dailybhaskar.com | Oct 16, 2013




New Delhi: A reason often given out to explain Bharatiya Janata Party’s PM candidate Narendra Modi’s overwhelming popularity on social media is that the medium is dominated by right-wing forces, and thus Gujarat CM is bound to have a following here.

With over two-and-a-half million followers and seven thousand more added each day, Modi has often talked about the need to get used to social media with his supporters attributing his web popularity to his appeal among the youth. Alas, reality is nowhere near to what it is made to look like.

Enter Status People Fake Follower Check — Social Media Management Platform for Business, a website which claims to weed out fake from real. When a status check of India’s right-wing hero was done on October 16 at 1530 hours, it was found that 72 percent of his followers are bogus, or simply speaking they might not exist at all. Only 2 percent of his following was genuine at that time. What would make Modi sad is that 26 percent of his following rarely uses Twitter, or is ‘inactive’.

So, where does he get his numbers from?

Though giving an exact reason is somewhat difficult, The Hindu draws comparisons between Modi and US presidential hopeful in 2012 Mitt Romney.

“US presidential candidate Mitt Romney was in the news after he gained about 117,000 Twitter followers within 24 hours and was accused of purchasing followers in bulk, a charge his office refuted,” The Hindu highlights.

Modi, as has been claimed by his opponents, has hired an army of social media experts. They very well could be at work, if they really exist.

But in what could be a consolation for Modi, leaders from Congress and as matter of fact, even US president Barack Obama doesn’t seem to fare better either.

NDA’s shame: Narendra Modi’s Feku rhetoric on faujis


Every dark cloud has a silver lining. That aphorism holds true for the six years of the BJP-led NDA government at centre. Even as the party was thrown out by the people in 2004, its stint offers a record that can help nail the lies and myths being perpetuated by BJP leaders and their vocal online supporters.


In the Economic Times, for instance, Abheek Burman ripped apart Yashwant Sinha’s claims about FDI coming into India during the NDA regime. In the NDA’s six years in power, a total of $23.8 billion entered India as FDI. And 2012, described by the BJP-led propagandists as the year when the world stopped trusting India, has alone seen $26 billion of FDI enter India.


If Yashwant Sinha peddles his myths only about the economy, the BJP’s recently declared Prime Ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi is less selective. He has publicly claimed that China spends 20 percent of its GDP on education and lambasted India for not following suit. The facts that have since emerged — that China barely spends 3.93 percent of GDP on education while India, under the UPA, now spends 4.04 percent — doesn’t elicit an apology from him. Perhaps Mr Modi was thinking instead of the BJP-led NDA which spent only 1.6 percent of GDP on education.


But such fact-checks do not deter Mr Modi from myth-making about BJP’s love for fauj in his speech last Sunday. Mr Modi perhaps has a short memory—after all, he doesn’t remember much about the 2002 Gujarat riots—but there are others who can remind him of the harsh truth about BJP’s false love for fauj and faujis.


BJP loves the fauj so much that its then national president and Gujarat Rajya Sabha MP, Bangaru Laxman was caught on camera accepting cash for a fake defence deal. Of course, by trying to push for inferior military equipment for a bribe, BJP’s national president was demonstrating how much the party valued the lives of faujis who would have used that equipment. Thank God, it was only a sting operation and our brave soldiers didn’t have to pay with their blood for Laxman’s greed for money.


Unfortunately, the BJP-led government didn’t stop even when it came to disrespecting our dead soldiers. Who can forget the coffin scam (about 500 caskets were bought for 2,500 dollars each, which CAG believed to be thirteen times higher than the actual price) during that government, whose record Mr Modi so loudly boasted about on Sunday?


Nothing demonstrates the abject ineptitude of the BJP’s handling of national security during its tenure than the statement of the then army chief, General VP Malik. Such was the neglect of Indian army under the BJP rule that the General forced to say “we shall fight with whatever we have”.


In his book, ‘Kargil: From Surprise to Victory’, General Malik writes: “When the Kargil war began, it was not the vintage but the deficiencies of weapons, equipment, ammunition and spares that worried us more. Even infantry weapons such as medium machine-guns, rocket launchers and mortars, apart from signal equipment, bullet-proof jackets and snow clothing for high-altitude warfare, were in short supply. Besides weapons and equipment, the ammunition reserves for many important weapons were low.”


We had to turn to Israel to help us out at that critical time. As Mark Sofer, Israel’s ambassador to India admitted in 2008 to Outlook magazine, “during Kargil, when Israel came to India’s assistance when India was in great need and brought about the turnaround in the situation on the ground”.

The BJP exploited the unparalleled bravery of our soldiers at Kargil for its electoral gains. It created resentment among the faujis by offering different rates of compensation for Kargil martyrs. It made the faujis bitter that the families of soldiers killed or disabled in other areas of action- –such as while fighting terrorists in the Kashmir Valley— got far lower benefits compared to the soldiers at Kargil. The situation was eventually corrected. But can the faujis trust the party which initiated such duplicitous measures to divide our brave soldiers for political gains?


Having used them for electoral gains, the BJP then quickly forgot the families of Kargil martyrs. Mr Modi would surely remember the Independence Day of 2001, when Professor SK Nayyar, father of a Kargil martyr and Mahavir Chakra winner Capt Anuj Nayyar, said to Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, “I gave my son to the country in its war against Pakistan but now I am fighting a war against your bureaucracy.”

Mr Modi totally ignoring the actual facts also compared the ‘strong BJP-led government’ with the ‘weak UPA government’ on the matter of national security. He forgets that a top BJP minister escorted six dreaded terrorists to Kandahar during the ‘strong’ NDA regime, while this ‘weak’ UPA government has already brought back some of India’s most wanted terrorists. When it comes to fighting terror, actions of the BJP and the Congress when in government speak louder than any words uttered by Mr Modi.

BJP leader, Venkaiah Naidu says that Modi is 3D. I completely agree. Mr Modi is Divisive, Delusional and Desperate. And he is entitled to his 3D politics. But he is not entitled to his facts, especially when it comes to India’s national security.

Muslim faces in Modi’s Kanpur rally may not turn into votes



Lucknow: Days of exercise by the BJP workers to give Gujarat CM and Bharatiya Janata Party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi’s rally a ‘secular hue’ had only a tinge.


The rally in Kanpur, the stronghold of the RSS, was crucial for two reasons. First, it was Modi’s kick-start rally in the series of eight lined up in the state and secondly, the party had planned it as a strategic move to bring together the largest religious minority in the Uttar Pradesh — that holds 80 out of total 543 Lok Sabha seats.


Modi’s dialogue that he wanted to take along everyone irrespective of their religion and that people in all religion can do good, was the only ingredient in his speech on what the gathering on the rally ground was speculating about. The speech, from a vastu compliant dais focused more on development and youth at national level– something Modi has been speaking about in his recent public speeches and which is seen as an attempt by the Gujarat chief minister to launder his image.


The other points in his speech being Congress and its policies.


“There might be minority faces in the close to one lakh as there are a large number living in Kanpur, a town with 45 lakh population, but you won’t see them transforming into votes. And I think Narendra Modi knows this fact,” said Tahira, social activist. She pointed, “What might happen due to presence of Modi is polarization of non-minority votes but that too is uncertain.”


Modi has to address more rallies in Uttar Pradesh –the next being on October 25 in Jhansi followed by Bahraich in November – but taking up minority directly in his speeches is an idea that political analysts don’t buy. “Why should he do it at all?” And the answer can be, ‘to bring the largest religious minority of Uttar Pradesh close to the party.’


A senior political analyst Zaheer Mustafa has his point of view, “Modi can never be accepted by Muslims, irrespective of whatever the party is doing. People are gullible only until there is a hidden agenda which they are not aware of but Modi has been exposed beyond limits. Today the situation within the community is that eve a discussion on Modi within a family is not welcomed and is rather resented.”


Religious leader Maulana Khalid Rashid Farangi Mahali says, “This is a balloon in which air is being filled. The party is crying hoarse of Gujarat model and it seems as if Gujarat has been turned into Bangkok. The problems of illiteracy, malnutrition, and unemployment are the same as in any other state. The fact is that Modi excels in converting non issues into issues. However, in this election more than 60 percent voter is youth which cannot be fooled by such arguments. They will vote only for that party that has done development on the ground. If Modi has been the Chief Minister three times then Shiela Dixit also has been ruling the third time. Besides, Muslims are not ready to accept Modi because of his communal image and will never go to his side. The only silver lining in India is that majority of Hindus are also secular, which became clear when BJP could not win after the Babri demolition. Now the responsibility of other parties is to clear this misconception.”


But does Modi possess a magical wand for increasing seats from 10? Wooing the Muslims isn’t just game of words. The assumption that if Muslims attend Modi’s rally they will bring votes too, isn’t really a ‘2 plus 2=4’ formula.


A large section of minority in Uttar Pradesh claims proximity with the ruling Samajwadi Party and they share dais with the party chief at majority public functions. So even if Modi can come and talk about minority, the ruling party can certainly do more such functions to claim proximity.


“Minority have a tendency to wait till the last before actually deciding which party suits their wish, hence conversion of votes for any political party isn’t a game of words in Uttar Pradesh. Speeches certainly will recall Gujarat 2000,” said Tahira.


There are other issues plaguing Modi’s prospects in the UP polls too.


“Modi’s charisma is difficult to work here in UP which has a different character. Here, development is never an agenda but the focus is on caste. What Modi has done in Gujarat is not relevant in UP where voting pattern is also different. Maximum voting is done in Panchayat elections and least in parliament. Issues like corruption have no meaning as people are involved only in local issues,” says Avnish Verma, Senior Technical Assistant in Geological Survey of India, who has served once as a presiding officer and twice as polling officer in various elections in the country.


Among Muslims, the youth – considered to be Modi’s stronghold – still have apprehensions about the effectiveness of him as the country’s PM. Mohd Asim Khan, a lecturer in chemistry at Amiruddaula Islamia Inter College says, “The development work Modi has done in Gujarat underlines that there were no issues of Hindu and Muslim. But the ghost of 2002 riots-even if he was directly not involved-still haunts Muslims. The community is apprehensive that such riots may spread all across if Modi is heading the nation. The other side of the coin is that he may control such incidents to improve his image.”


The Kanpur rally though was well planned and as soon as Modi’s rallies were proposed, his close aide Amit Shah traveled across UP. This apparently sent message across the party workers that he is here to change the scenario. However, his speech didn’t gel with the speculations in the air. So the rally remained just a start of his journey in the Hindi heartland.


Other political parties gave obvious reactions to the rally. Samajwadi Party spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary claimed that BJP had spent over Rs 10 crore for this event but could not connect with any of the sections in the society.


The fact that Modi is cautious about Uttar Pradesh rallies can be judged by the fact that his security arrangements were done under strict supervision of the Gujarat police only. A team of senior policemen from Gujarat, came to Uttar Pradesh before his visit and ensured security arrangements as per their calculations. Even the first security ring from the dais – within which no person is allowed to move – was increased from 30 feet to 60 feet at the behest of the Gujarat police. This was apart from the arrangements such as Gujarati snacks for him at the venue.
