MODI WINS

Amidst tough and mostly hate-oriented fight by the combined opposition, Modi emerged as the most powerful and popular leader of world’s one of the largest democracies. Tagged as Chaiwala (Tea maker) in 1914 and Chowkidar Chor hai (Guard is Thief) in 2019 by the opposition, Mr Modi never got disheartened, perturbed or saddened by these frivolous and biased slogans but kept on working for the masses more especially for the poor and oppressed. Around Fifty reformist and welfare programs were carried out on utmost priority. The opposition never bothered to care about the far-reaching implications of these projects/ programs. All these welfare programs flourished in the background slowly and steadily over these past five years. On the one side the opposition believed in raising unfounded allegations or slogans accusing or targeting the government while as on the other side the ruling government saw that its reforms were implemented sincerely, strictly and hit the target flawlessly. Perhaps that made the difference. 

All the social and economic schemes implemented by Modi's government paid rich dividends and significantly escalated the popularity of this great but modest leader to new heights. Also, Modi's strong conviction in Nationalism made him not a savior of masses alone but a true nationalistic leader of the country. His famous slogan ‘Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas’ (All we unite and all we progress!) made Modi an epitome and embodiment of millions of Indians. 

In short, opposition and, for that matter, every opposition in any democratic/non-democratic form of government should learn from the straightforwardness, simplicity, humanness, respect for elders, down to earth nature and perfect oratory of this great leader. In a democracy it is after all the words you speak work, impress and woo the listeners for you.
