Mission 272+ accomplished.

16 May 2014 will go down as a momentous Victory Day in India's history. The day the nation broke its shackles and attained deliverance from the corrupt, communal and colonial UPA government headed by the Italian branch of the Nehru-Gandhi family, which has bled our country by several thousands of crores during the last decade. This has been the mother of all victories, stunning the Congress into a deathly silence. With their miserable tally of 44 seats, they cannot even aspire to lead the Opposition. Such was the pathetic performance by congress that the entire cabinet of Mr. Manmohan Sing lost all their seats and some even their deposits, those outstanding performers who lost there deposits were Salman Khurshid, Karti Chidumbarum. Adding to woes of congress even AAP there subsidiary and it’s leader “Shree 420” or “AK 49” as Modi fondly calls him also could not come to his masters rescue, winning just 4 seats outside Delhi and losing deposits in 423 seats. Not to forget its also a defeat of the gossip mongers of 160+ club in BJP, it’s time that they simply surrender to the mighty and fall in line. This is not just a victory of a tea seller or a politically nobody but a victory of ever commoner who was again and again insulted by the congress and its ministers who went on to the extent of saying “poverty is a state of mind” to “you need just 12 rupees to feed your stomach” to “calling Osamaji” and visiting the house of terrorist in UP. This is the victory of the suppressed, abused, forgotten, and most importantly the anger of the countrymen.

From those two seats in 1984 to 282 in 2014, the BJP has indeed come a long way. The Narender Modi wave or Tsunami whatever you would like to call was so huge that it has sweeped the entire North India sparing J&K, one surprise result which sent shock waves thorough out the secular brigade was UP and Bihar, what a splendid performance 73 and 31 respectively. But, mind you, unlike 1984, no riot, not even a minor communal skirmish, has framed the Modi mandate. No attempt was made to whip up religious passions. The singular focus was on ~vikas~, though, the non-BJP parties, in sheer desperation, did try to inject the communal and caste card in the latter stages of the campaign, but, happily, all in vain. Modi, more than his party, had hard-sold himself as the harbinger of development. That alone would explain the depth and breadth of the BJP victory. Aspiration India identified with him like it did with no other leader before, with the sole exception perhaps of Indira Gandhi in 1971. In 1984 the BJP was reduced to two seats, the Congress Party has ended up with its lowest ever tally in 2014. A mere 45 seats in the Lok Sabha may have put in jeopardy its status as the recognized opposition party as well. The joke going around on twitter and other social media is that “time has take a full circle; from struggling to stitch an coalition for forming a government to now get a status of opposition” Since, by all accounts, this spectacular defeat was self-made, you would imagine that the party would do some serious introspection, an honest appraisal of the humiliating loss, a dispassionate post-mortem of Vote 2014. But all of this is conspicuous for its absence.

Instead, you see the usual attempt to shift the blame from the high command to everyone else, well when was the last time the Gandhi were blamed for defeat? As usual it’s the Congress culture to credit the victories to Gandhi’s, but blame everyone else for defeat and a crude attempt to accuse the winners for having stolen the mandate on false pretexts, or even a barely veiled attempt to blame the voters for succumbing to the alleged money power of the Mody campaign. If money alone could win elections, the Congress was assured of permanence in power not just in Delhi but throughout the country. For, who can match the vast riches of the Congress families? Ironically, such ill-gotten riches have contributed immensely to the fall of the party to the status of an also-ran in the latest poll. Corruption, after all, was a significant factor in the huge drubbing of the Congress, though consumer inflation was the single-most important reason.

The UPA ensured the unity of their coalition through their adharma of corruption. By allocating spheres of corruption to each constituent, they ensured their continuity, confident also that religious division and vote banks that they engineered would blot out their plunder at the next election. They couldn't have been more misguided. The entire nation rejoices and salutes India's new Prime Minister, Narender Modi, who after a tireless and grueling campaign of almost two years has received an unprecedented, historic mandate from the people of India to lead our country.

I must also congratulate all the volunteers of mission 272+, the scores of youngsters who right from the start have consistently supported Narender Modi for Prime Ministership. And it has happened just as we forecast and hoped, and Narender Modi will be Prime Minister of the country, despite the hatred, calumny and lies that was disseminated about him in the most diabolical and calculated manner. But he fought them all and won.
