History sometimes gives you a
golden opportunity, where you can proudly proclaim to your future generations
that you played your role the best you could do to your abilities. Whatever may
be the outcome of that opportunity but the satisfaction that you weren’t
sitting on fence & took the side that you believed is worth supporting,
will stay with you for long. India’s 2014 general elections are such
opportunity for me. It would be an election which will decide future course of
India’s direction & results of this election have far reaching
consequences. I won’t call it a battle of ideologies as Narendra Modi’s
opposition doesn’t have any ideology at all. I will call it a fight between a
nationalist force that wants to see India as self-sufficient & prosperous
nation versus opportunists & corrupts who just want status quo so that
their business runs as usual.
Like many Indians, I am earning
my living abroad but as the advertisement of Siyaram Suiting say “You can take
an Indian out of India but you can’t take India out of an Indian” my heart
always remains in India. When you live outside India, you would see how the
systems have made everyday life of the citizens so easy. You don’t face
corruption in everyday life & if someone violates the law, there are only
two options, either pay very heavy penalty or go to jail. Society in general
also have move beyond conflicting mode to harmonious mode & awaken voters
are backbone of these western democracies. What I like about some of the matured Western democracies
is the fact that it’s the democracy which goes to people if people can’t go to
democracy. Just to elaborate I will give few examples like allowing legal foreign
nationals to vote in local municipality elections as foreigners are also part
of user group which uses local services or allowing citizens living away from
their voting constituencies to vote via their embassy or online or being quick
& responsive in solving people’s issues in transparent manner. I always
wondered why it’s not possible in India to do so & was happy to see Modi’s
Gujarat moving in right direction in certain aspects. I lived & worked in
Gujarat so I know the progress under leadership of Narendra Modi. Modi is
having all bright ideas & proven track record to implement his proven solutions.
So when election dates were announced I said good bye to all ifs, buts &
neutrality & landed in India to vote & support Narendra Modi for PM
campaign.
Festival of democracy has already
begun on 7th April from North East of India. Many will know that in
Vaastu North East direction is considered most auspicious. So as believer in
Indian Traditions, only auspicious thing I expect as outcome is Narendra Modi
as PM. I have been trying to do campaign for NaMo in all possible ways, which
includes standing at Metro Stations in Delhi wearing NaMo T-Shirt, Scarf, Badge
& Topi. Also pasting stickers at the back of Autos after permission from
Autowallahs, shaking hands with people & asking them to vote for Modi. I am
also wearing NaMo T shirt & Badge when I am at Airport or in flights. I
will be voting in NCR region on 10th April for NaMo. I hope each one
of us will play their part in this make or break elections. I just request
everyone to not to sit on fence, choose your side judiciously & join the
battle. Always remember that this election is national election & not election
of your ward or state. The best of all deserves your vote & support. For me
it’s Narendra Modi, who has all practical experience & proven solutions to
solve India’s problem.
This is just like war of
Mahabharat, at the end only good should come out & like Mahabharat, we all
have to choose side & join the battle. I know we all are not like Sun, which comes every morning
& removes all darkness in one go, but we are like small lamps, which when
put together has best chance of outshining the Sun. let’s participate as it’s
time to put India First.
