India is more aspirational than ever before in its history. People in the country want to lead a better quality of life, want to become more educated, want to get rid of casteism and social inequalities, want to become more technologically advanced, want to become more prosperous, want to be more secure, want to have proper systems in place and want to be more proud of being part of this nation.
A farmer wants better irrigation facilities. He wants sufficient power supply for his water pumps. He wants quality seeds for his produce to go up, better market opportunities for his income to go up. The poor want to meet at least the basic amenities. They want more opportunities for their welfare. A Government school student wants better facilities in her school, sufficient number of teachers to teach the subjects, she wants better opportunities for higher learning. A scientist wants better opportunities for research. An unemployed wants employment opportunities. A corporate employee wants more growth opportunities for him. A business man wants better infrastructure in place for him to grow his business. He wants better policies which can aid his business. Citizens want corrupt free systems in place. They want their rights to be exercised freely. And not just that. People in the country are not only aspiring for better living standards, better opportunities and better facilities but people are also aspiring for their country to be in a powerful position on a global stage.
Friends, these are the aspirations of people in this new era. In a democratic country, Its the aspiration of people that drive the country forward. Democracy will be highly successful in terms of taking the country towards their dreams when people not only know what they want but also when they make a right assessment on who can take the country close to that of their dreams. Fortunately or unfortunately, currently our country is in a situation which can be rightly described as "Either Now or Never" because of several reasons like the global political, economic and demographic conditions that we live in. Either we prove ourselves now or we can never prove ourselves.
It's high time that we evolve ourselves into a much more matured democracy by choosing a leader who not only lives in his own ideology but also understands the aspirations of the people, who not only mechanically runs the Government but show the countrymen a vision for the country, who not only talks but also acts and delivers, who not only points out the problems but who also provide solutions, who not only expresses grief over the brutality at borders but also who can be bold enough to teach a lesson at borders and more importantly the one who can be highly decisive in nature. Then alone we can achieve an India that we all aspire for. Then alone our dreams can be realized.
As a voter, if we look for a leader who possess the qualities that I described, the best and the only choice available for the country is Modi. Media channels say that Modi is the best choice and the only choice available for BJP. But I would slightly disagree with the media and say that Modi is the only choice and the best choice available for the country. Who else can match his extraordinary leadership qualities at the national level? Who else possess such a proven track record in governance? Who else has such an impeccable corrupt free record in public life? Who has else has such a popularity among people inspite of such a huge negative propaganda driven by the Congress sponsored and the foreign sponsored English Media?
When all the political parties in Andhra are competing with each other by promising that they can give 7 hours power, 9 hours power every day to the farmers if they come to the power, Modi has given 24 hours to everyone in Gujarat way back in 2008. When political parties promise TVs for free and fans for free in their manifestos, he promises that he will provide wifi everywhere in Gujarat in his manifesto. When all the other states are talking about a minimum price for framers produce, Modi makes a record by recording double digit agricultural GDP in his state. When national GDP is around 6%, he records double of it in his state. While we see several cabinet ministers from central Government moving to jail one after other for their involvement in massive corruption, Modi is winning several awards from the same central Government for providing a corrupt free Government in his state. When all other states gives free power, free land, free water etc for corporates to set up their offices in their states, he says he will charge more but will create a conducive environment for business. While most leaders appease a certain caste or a certain region or a certain religion for vote bank politics, Modi again and again says "appeasement for none and justice for all" is his policy. While most of his competitors talk about their grand fathers, their grand mothers achievements for getting votes, Modi speaks about his Government achievements for votes.
One can clearly observe the difference that Modi has in his attitude towards politics and in his delivery style for the people when compared to the rest of the leaders. Well, as we all know that when we talk of Modi, the English Media and his detractors try their best to undermine all his good work and they are just interested in saying only one point, that Modi is communal. They have been doing this false prpoganda on a huge scale from last 10 years. But have they proved him being guilty? Have the courts made any statement stating that he is involved in riots? Is there any single FIR filed against him? No. Nothing. Then how justified are they in leading this false campaign? How long will they do this? They may think that a false becomes true if they chant it a numerous times. People in Gujarat have never accepted this. They have rejected this bogus campaign and accepted Modi's good governance for the third time in a row.
Gujarat has set an example before the country that an effective leader through his Governance can alter the things so unimaginably that even the prestigious TIME magazine publishes about him on its cover page. I think now the country needs to follow Gujarat's example and give a chance to Modi to lead the country. We are no more in an era of Lalu's and Shibu Soren's to just fall into their trap of caste politics or minority vote bank based politics. It's time for us to get away from the traditional caste based, heridatory based useless politics. We need to move into a delivery based politics that Modi is practicing day in and day out in Gujarat. Friends, I would go to the extent of saying that Modi is the pioneer of the phrase "Good Governance" in this country. It's Modi's governance which brought this phrase "Good Governance" into limelight, into the center stage of politics. Prior to Modi, have we ever heard of this in politics. Politics and elections were all about castes, all about money, all about welfare schemes. Modi has changed this and gave a new direction to politics through his governance. I hope the countrymen cutting across the political parties, regions and religions unite to give a chance to Modi in 2014 to take our country to that of our dreams and aspirations.
