Sour Grapes

Gujarat election results are going to be coming in soon.  The election by the ELM has been called a possible waterloo for Narendar Modi - current Indian Prime Minister.  Obviously, the ELM in India and MSM outside of India is looking for a serving of humble pie to Modi.  Why?

Before even the election started, the Gandhi Dynasty had launched their major weapon - Rahual Gandhi as party President of the main opposition party - Congress I (Indian National Congress).  I recommend everyone to read up on who formed INC here.  I might be reading too much into the founder's idea of educated Indians representing Indians but the party seem to have been made for brown sahibs.  Educated - meaning mentally slaved to colonial mindset.  The Congress Party is one of the party that has ruled the nation the longest period of time.  Under congress, India has taken some great steps but also has taken some major missteps.  In recent times, I will say lot of the decisions they have taken have been detrimental for the nation.  What I find funny is the party that has ruled the nation for so long has lost its bearing.  The congress party currently doesn't know who to cater to to stay in power - should it cater to ChristoIslamist vote bank or should it cater to Hindutavadis and nationalists. Congress, it seems, has painted itself in a corner.  In its lust for looting the nation for its own party member, it has forgotten how the democracy works.  The party has made deals with a devil on many occasion and now the mood of the nation has turned against it forever (at least forever for next 10 years).  The party has made deals with questionable elements and questionable compounds (parties).  Abdullahs in Kashmir, Bhindrawale/Longwal in Punjab, Communists over all, and christists in other parts of India.  All of these elements/compounds have worked for their own goals while not caring much for the Indian entity as a whole.  Congress, which claims to be a national party, for lust of power has made deal with these types to tear up the national fabric.  On top of this, they have neglected development and progress.  Who has suffered the most, the poor and the middle class.  Who seems to have benefited the most, the corrupt and the connected. 

When they had Modi run for more than 10 years in Gujrat as a CM and has worked hard to make progress in his state, people have taken notice.  The only reason he became a successful candidate is because people noticed the change - a change for more development and better society.  I have to point out that the media, during his being CM and accession to one of the most powerful PM candidate in recent history, was against him.  They had called him a genocidal maniac, maut ka saudagar (death merchant), and most recently a "neech" person.  All this has not been able to damper their target's popularity.  Even with Modi, while being a PM, taking a harsh steps like GST implementation and demonetization for formalize the economy.  The MSM has played its part, as not being objective, to work against Modi.  None of this seems to be working against him.  So the Gujrat state assembly elections came.  The one that has been labeled a possible death knell to Modi's upcoming 2019 elections. Now looking at the popularity at the ground, you would think the MSM would run objective polls.  That hasn't been the case, they have said that Modi will loose heavily.  Read article like this, they have even projected Rahul a winner despite who wins (BJP) in Gujrat.  They have also used the EVM being hacked bogey as a face saving device.  EVM, as has been pointed out, are only hacked if BJP wins.  They are not hacked in places where congress wins (punjab). 

What EVM tampering being raised by Congress shows is that they are not willing to loose.  They still lust for power.  In their lust, they will say and do anything to be in power.  Including, having meetings with Pakistan just before Gujrat election.  Even if those meetings are not around the elections, you have to agree the optics provided by those meetings are awful (and anti nationalist).  All the shenanigans of Congress makes me believe the story about Sour Grapes - they just think no one has heard of it to draw the comparisons with their behavior and that of the fox.  I feel the fox in this case is going to be outfoxed once again by their targets Modi and Shah.
