Modi won against all odds

-

ll are looking for an opportunit­y to criticise Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Though the Bharatiya Janata Party won the December election in Gujarat against all odds, I do not understand why all media is crying against Narendra Modi. He won and Rahul lost. Yet all newspapers are praising Rahul Gandhi.

There were many odds against BJP like temporary side effects of GST (Goods and Services Tax), caste agitations supported by Congress, 22 years of anti-incumbency factor, unemployme­nt rate going up, farmers not getting proper rates and much more.

Maximum number of small and medium businessme­n are Gujarati in India. They were the most affected by GST and demonetisa­tion. This was the only chance Congress had to win the election but they lost it. This opportunit­y they will never get again.

The positive results of demonetisa­tion and GST have already started showing and will be very clear in 2018. Just wait for a year and the situation will be completely changed.

There is not a single corruption charge against any minister at the centre in the last three years. People do compare this with the previous government.

The number of terrorists being eliminated every day will bring peace to the nation. He had guts to perform a surgical strike against terrorists.

He works 18 hours a day 365 days a year. He did not take a single day off in the last three years as Prime Minister. He never fell sick even once. He has given his life for the nation. Clean India or the Swachh Bharat movement is starting to show its effects now. The number of schemes for poor people are appreciate­d by all.

There are numerous good things to mention but our pseudo secular writers and leaders do not see this. How can they appreciate? This is the first time that all opposition parties are getting united just to defeat one person - Narendra Modi. But the people support him. It is really his magic that made BJP win.
