Mr. Narendra Modi, the Hindu nationalist leader, as he claimed has been elected Prime Minister of India after. Dr. Man Mohan Singh. He is known as the hardcore leader of Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian People's Party). Bharatiya Janata Party has emerged as the largest political party in the 2014 Indian Parliamentary Election with 282 seats out of 543. The ruling Congress Party suffered a great set back and humbling defeat and reduced to 44 seats only. It is assumed that BJP has come back to power with its polarization vote bank as they took advantage of corruption, scams, price rise, policy paralysis etc., during Indian National Congress rule in the last 10 years.
Mr. Narendra Modi who was at the Chief Minister of Gujarat State for fourth term, claims that Gujarat is the most developed State in India. It is in this context during election campaign he promised development, good governance, employment, 24 hours electricity, water, good roads and what not. It is also to be noted that BJP manifesto highlights the construction of Ram Temple which has been a controversial issue for years. Time will reveal what Modi will do in the next five years for India to fulfil the aspiration of voters.
What is the matter of concern is that Bhatiya Janata Party is the Political Wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (National Volunteer Organisation), a nationalist Hindu organisation established in early nineteen century, with the sole objective to make India a Hindu Nation. RSS has grown bigger and stronger over the years and strongly implementing their agendas across the country. Modi is a product of RSS and worked for years as RSS pracharak (preacher) since he was a young man and had very humble beginning. However, it was the RSS leadership who proposed Narendra Modi as Prime Ministerial candidate.
Now, the Modi Government will be working, hand in glove with RSS and it is apprehended that all major decisions will be taken in consultation with RSS top brass. As of now they are meeting and discussing for formation of the new govt., which is in the public domain. Therefore it is a matter of concern for the minorities like Muslims and Christians in India.
At this juncture we seek prayer for the Modi Government that his policies and actions should not harm the minorities in India and more over Religious Freedom should continue since India is a democratic country as per its provision in Indian Constitution.
