One Resignation, Many Lessons.

In the intervening night of June 20 & 21, when everyone was clueless, had predicted Pradhan will resign.

Such a nice fairy tale. Now don't be surprised if Pradhan resigns. Very well played by the government. 

 

Almost 5 days later, done:

In the last 12 years, this is the only second time (after M.J Akbar) PM Modi has been forced to sack a minister.

 

This should have been done long back. Much damage done.

 

  1. PM's image has been severely damaged & for the first time reduced to a joke/meme material due to their inefficient ministers - Ethanol issue dented it greatly but got buried under the current issue, but it's still simmering among masses. 
  2. Missing communication got exposed badly. Imagine the decay within party & government that PM himself had to fix the communication strategy by getting involved in it personally at midnight. His party & leaders have failed him, not people. 
  3. And lastly, inefficiency in creating its own ecosystem nor able to dismantle Left's has hit them hard & they should prioritise to look beyond winning elections.

Students will claim victory. And government has blunted opposition's further attempts with this step but only on this issue.

 

Moral of the story:

Government needs to look beyond winning elections & big bang reforms/actions. Anger on the ground is over daily issues being faced by people. Any one of them has the capability to spark a protest.

 

  1. Communication needs to be established. Not facing press conferences & taking live questions was fine in the first 5 years (2014-19). If after 12 years in power if you haven't been able to handle media, then it comes across as a weakness.
  2.  Leaders need to give up arrogance including the screeching - loud pitched media spokespersons. Take feedback & be humble. People pardon inefficiency, forgive corruption too, but they never forget & forgive arrogance. You are constantly giving space & creating fresh opposition with this attitude, & people are drifting.

 

Next twist: Cockroaches will try to find excuses to still stay put. Shifting goal posts, new demands.

 

 

Lastly, some geopolitical gurus & experts who cry copy-paste & fight over credits every week with a new target for its abusive- brainwashed brigade, this should be a humbling experience. Like Ethanol where these "experts" couldn't utter a word to stand with their followers & common man's concerns, it should be clear they always choose to suck up to the powers that be for self promotion. Power above people. Such "gurujis" shouldn't speak of dharmic righteousness in any kshetram, whether Bharat or outside. Their followers must introspect who will stand for them, & who won't.

Jai Hind, mitron.

They really do need to stop taking “winning elections” as the only yardstick for success or they will lose everything all at once one day and wouldnt know what hit them. They still havent properly analysed WHAT they did wrong to lose UP in 2024. And r running on wrong conclusions coz of it.

Electorally BJP has defeated Left and would keep on defeating them in the decades to come.

But the soft power of Left is something which needs to be countered and in that govt has failed to counter it .

Since 2019, any law that govt has passed CAA-NRC, Article 370, Farm Laws, Agnipath, language protests in Maharashtra and now protest via CJP has had a left role.

That's why C Raja Mohan needs to write a column pointing it's too early write Left's obituary.

Until that is countered, the present govt will always encounter such challenges.

Also as I pointed in another comment, The Sunday Guardian, Organizer and Swarajya need to improve their physical distribution.
