Want to stop BJP?? Start working for People now
In a democracy like India opposition parties has a big role
to play. An opposition is must in our country so that they can bring to notice
the issues and challenges the country is facing. However after 2014 when Modi
government came to power the meaning of opposition has changed now. Yes it is
true that opposition should oppose the government but reacting to everything
that government does is not helping the cause of the opposition.
There is no
alternative narrative, no leader with the mass appeal, no logical debates and people
of the country understand very well which move by the government is in their
favour and which is not.
The likes of Congress, Samajwadis, Owaisis, Communists and
others have decided that they are going to target the PM for whatever is
happening in this country.
India is a hugely populated country and every day we witness
thousands of incidents like family disputes, fights and clashes among groups, robberies,
road rages, and murders and such incidents are happening from ages. India is a
country where you will find people from all religions, casts, and creeds and obviously
these people are involved in the incidents.
However the opposition parties and a section of media will
cherry pick an incident where a Dalit or a Minority is involved and will start
highlighting the issues as if the government is against this section of people.
Is this the alternative narrative by which they are going to bring down the
government and get votes in the next elections?
Reacting to every move by the government without providing
any concrete logic is not working in the favour of the opposition
Playing the communal card by the opposition is going to cost
them dear as the more they will try to appease the minority the more this
country will see polarization and that is going to help BJP as they will get
more support from the majority community in this country.
The minority community is also fed up with the vote bank
politics and now wants development and upliftment in the society. Various parties
have been using them as vote bank only and have never worked for their
betterment.
If you ask my opinion then I firmly believe that we should
have a strong opposition which can challenge any wrong move by the government
intelligently. The agendas of our opposition need to be changed and they should
introspect and come up with narratives which are helpful for the common man and
to the country.
The leaders Digvijay Singh, Manish Tiwari, Rahul Gandhi,
Owaisi, Yadavs, and others should understand that having some few millions
followers on twitter will not earn you votes. Mind it most of your followers
are trollowers (trollers) who are there to abuse you.
So come out of twitter, go to ground zero meet people,
listen to their issues and try to solve them and help them. When you are in the
public the focus should be to help them and dare you spew the venom the public
will find it annoying and you will lose votes.
Congress still has its governments in many states. It should
rather focus on the developments of these states and highlight their work at
the national level if they really want to win the confidence back. There is no
other option but to work for the public at the ground level rather than
blabbering on twitter or Facebook.
The fake news stories will not work in the future as the
Indian public is well informed and intelligent now. You cannot make fool out of
them now, gone are the days when the politicians befooled them for votes.
The propaganda managers of all the parties who are working
day and night on Facebook and social media to demean each other should be
trained again as they have already exposed themselves in the eye of general
public. Their campaigns are not working now.
The only way out is to reach to the people, talk to them but
talk sense and help them overcome their problems rather than lecturing them or abusing
the government. Work on the states where you are in power and showcase it to
the public while asking for the votes.
Rest it is up to the parties how they are going to strategize
their future campaigns
