Narendra Modi, You Have Failed!



It has been almost three years since India gave you a landslide victory on the basis of your promise of acche din. The country believed in you. But Narendrabhai, you have utterly and completely failed us.
In these three years, we have yet to see a single accha din. On the contrary, what you have given us is an increased cost of living; complete lack of safety for women and more empty words. 

We believed in you. We trusted your promises of progress. We were so -- oh so very wrong.
On the day of the counting in 2013, multitudes rejoiced as the results were being declared. We left everything to revel in the euphoria -- each of us pray -- ab ki baar teen sau paar! We were jubilant when you got such a resounding victory. But almost immediately, many realised their mistake -- as was apparent in every single election after the General Elections. Even in the re-polls, you lost. You lost in almost every Assembly election too. That should have been a wake-up call. But your arrogance could not see it. Also, there were Modi-die-hards who persisted in drawing a silver lining around the dark cloud -- the NDA government. The die-hards (me included) said that Modi is working on foreign affairs. He is building India as a brand in the world. We persisted in thinking that all those foreign trips of your would fructify in due time. We said, “Modi is a single man -- what all can he do?” We chose to ignore the galloping prices that made cost of living so dear. We chose to blame every single member of your Cabinet for not doing a good job -- and we still believed in you.

But Modibhai, you have now delivered the cruellest cut of all. You have attacked Senior Citizens. Senior Citizens, a group of people who are as dependent and helpless as newborns. Senior Citizens, who have worked many long years and are counting on their saving to take them through the rest of their lives. Senior Citizens, who have no active source or possibility of income -- except for their savings. You have attacked this group in an extremely cruel and sadistic way by cutting the rates of Senior Citizens Scheme.

You have also attacked the poor who put their pennies together to invest in the Post Office Schemes. The Post Office schemes are all for Small Savings. This is where the poor, those eking out a difficult living and those trying desperately to have some sort of a future -- invest. You have attacked these people too.

You have additionally displayed an utter disdain for the working class. The salaried, middle class to whom PPF was the one ray of hope. You have stolen their future away. 

You have proved to be anti-Seniors; anti-poor and anti-middle-class -- the very groups that turn out in large numbers to cast their vote in your favour. Much as I find it demeaning to agree with that joker Rahul Gandhi, you are indeed only a government for the suited-booted.

Narendra Modi, this one act of yours has sealed your fate. There is no way that India will ever vote for you or for BJP again. We will waste our votes by selecting NOTA, but we will definitely not vote for a gang that makes sure that we suffer. That makes it impossible for us to live.

The act of reduction in Post Office interest rates which will also enable banks to reduce their interest rates is the last nail in the coffin -- ours and yours!

Goodbye Narendra Modi, BJP and NDA -- you might as well not contest the next elections.
