With UP and Punjab elections due in 2022, Opposition has geared up its campaign of opportunist politics. In fact, it is not a new thing for them. They have been doing it since 2014. To be more precise, even before that when Modi was the Chief minister of Gujrat. So, not a big deal.
Opportunist politics is something that holds the centre stage whenever there is something big going to take place. Be it the elections to the State assembly, or that at the centre. Be it the defence programmes, infrastructural development, Health and other related programmes, Education or for that matter the issues relating to the Agriculture and the farmers. We can easily summarize some developmental programmes undertook by the Government for building a new India, and how the opposition, just to oppose Narinder Modi and somehow throw him out of power, tried to sabotage and damage the country’s development through their nefarious designs and venomous political opportunism.
When Modi wanted to give a new dimension to the Country’s ariel security and the over all face lifting of the Indian Air force, a big hue and cry was raised by the opposition when the Rafale fighter aircraft deal with France in 2015 was announced. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the landmark defence deal with France to buy 36 Rafale fighter jets to refurbish Indian air force, and opposition wasted no time to grab the opportunity to mount pressure on the Government for making, as per their own assessment, a dubious deal.
Every Countryman knows , that the new deal of Rafale was a genuine deal and there was nothing that could be a reason for pointing finger towards the centre for making this deal. On 14 December 2018 the Supreme Court too upheld the Rafale deal, stating that no irregularities or corruption have been found. But, to the utter disappointment of the Nation, the Opportunist Opposition even ridiculed the Supreme Court for giving a clean chit to this defence deal. Some shameless politicians who are a novice to the Indian politics, notwithstanding the sanctity of the post of a Prime Minister, called the PM a thief. How much more can one stoop low. Embodiment of utter hatred, that is what they are.
And then during the West Bengal elections there was yet another slogan, “Khela Hobe”. This ambiguous slogan was created by none other than the Didi of Bengal Mamta Benarjee. Well, they say it was purely a political slogan to challenge the BJP in the state of West Bengal. But, the story seemed to be something else. Khela Hobe was not a political challenge to the BJP or any other political party in the fray, instead it looked like a warning to the people of West Bengal that if they dare vote against TMC, they will have to face the consequences. And actually that is what happened during the whole election process in West Bengal. Post poll voilence took an ugly shape and dozens of BJP Workers got killed. It was the most horrible and dirtiest aftermath of any electioneering history of India. what can one make out of all this other than the fear and frustration of Mamta Benarjee and TMC on account of increasing popularity of Modi and BJP in West Bengal.
Religion card is yet another opportunist invasion on the Government masterminded by the Opposition to play the vote bank politics in the Country. All National level political Parties were hand and glove with every small and big party even at the regional level to create a ruckus with a hidden agenda of destabilizing the Government and ridiculing the decisions made by Modi towards the upliftment and progress of all sections of the society at par.
Who can ever forget the scar that was left on the face of the society at Shaheen Bagh. Where people from all political parties left no stone unturned in keeping the issue boiling simply to make the Central Govt. bow down and succumb to the undue pressure that was created by fanatics and pseudo seculars.
Vote bank politics has become every political party’s cup of tea. It is this political weapon which they think is going to take them through in 2022 State elections and 2024 general elections.But, all these political opponents need to understand that they have to deal with a much prudent and politically well versed voter and cheap means of appeasement are bound to lead them to an unprecedented political setback. Instigating different sections of the society on religious basis, for these political opportunists, is going to boomerang and the lesson has to be learnt before it is too late for them and they are left with nothing but an extinction on the National arena.
Who can forget the statements made by some leaders of very big political parties regarding the Ram Mandir at Ayodhiya. Some even questioned the very existence of Lord Rama. All these misadventures proved futile and they could gather nothing but the mass opposition for uttering such baseless and false contentions and hurting the sentiments of the Majority community at large.
Likewise, there was a huge attempt to disrupt the peace when Modi announced the demonetization of all ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series on 8th Nov.2016. No chance was literally left to defame Narinder Modi and his Government. But, thanks to the strong resolve of a very great and world class statesman in Mr.Modi, that the storm passed peacefully and the people of the country recognised, acknowledged and accepted the need for demonetization. Despite of the fact that the whole opposition was left isolated and literally secluded, they continued their undemocratic, irrational , unprincipled and vicious campaign against this political giant.
There can be hundreds of such examples where one can infer the malafide and nefarious designs of the opposition to destabilize the Modi Government and mutilate the new progressive image of the Country on the Global level. These shameless politicians even went begging the neighboring countries to help and support them in throwing Modi out. This can be nothing but political bankruptcy and a dangerous urge to grab power from the back door. Because they know it very well, in fact they can read the writing on the wall very clearly that their political career has been sealed by Modi and they have to starve politically for rest of their life.
And, lately when the Government passed the farmers’ bill in the Parliament, for the betterment of the farmers, opposition with the help of some Anti national forces and some so called International celebrities who know nothing about Agriculture and farmers and even through the illegal in flow of hawala money tried to misguide, mislead and instigate some so called farmers’ bodies to create a state of unrest in the country. There were timely assurances from the Agriculture minister and other Government authorities to the farmers that Government is committed to safeguard the interests of the Indian farmer. But all in vain. the opposition was up to something else. And, that is only and only Modi hatred. Modi who acted like a real well wisher of farmers came forward and to end the state of chaos in the country, announced the repealment of the farm laws.
And, this is what is making them wild, rough, unmanaged, untamed, uncivilized, provocative, trackless, unpopular, ill tempered, and politically violent. That is why they are behaving like unruly goons to go to any extent and to do, ” ANYTHING TO OPPOSE MODI.”
