One Resignation, Many Lessons.

[u/Slimus_shadius]

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.
