And so I will vote for Modi and not for our cute little Cambridge-educated Baba. Why, you ask? Because for once Rahul Baba is not interested in the post. Not that he is suitable, anyway. On the other hand, Modi looks like a man possessed. For all his fallacies, he lets his work show. To quote from an article,

A mere 5 percent of the population of the state of Gujarat contributes 16 of India’s total industrial output and 22 percent of its exports. Agriculture in Gujarat is prospering at a massive growth rate of 10 percent in comparison to nation’s average of 3 percent. The state has been able to achieve the unthinkable feat of providing 24X7 supply electricity to rural households.

Baba on the other hand is too shy to take the lowly minister’s job. He is the crowned king for whom the throne awaits, it’s just his decision when. We shall all be waiting with flowers in our hands to welcome him!

Look at the dump we are in and look at the response from our Prime Minister, if we have one, that is. Our Finance Minister says that India’s golden period has been under the UPA. God save us if this has any semblance to a golden period. As MBAs, you hear corporates whisper that “our numbers are low” as beads of sweat form on your head. Dreams have been squashed, people are worried about getting a job, leave alone getting a humongous salary. So then if you ask me who will you vote for, I shall unabashedly say, Narendra Modi.

He has his ghosts, but what option do we have? It’s either him or again another dummy from the party/alliance whose lows know no bounds. I have had enough and so have thousand others like me. We don’t know whether a temple will be built in Ayodhya or not, nor do we care. We don’t know who is secular. No single party in India can be called secular (appeasement politics doesn’t make you secular, it makes you all the more communal). We need jobs, we need growth, we need a vibrant economy. We want to stand tall in the world market as we once did not so long ago before this government decided to treat this country like a family heirloom.
