क्या शरद वपार लिबरलों-सेक्युलरों के नये तारणहार है?

एक नया नेरेटिव चला है। शरद पवार का। लिबरल शरद पवार की प्रशंसा करते थकते नहीं है। राहुल गांधी की गुजरात में मॉरल विक्टरी बतानेवाले अब उसपे चूंकि कुछ कह नहीं सकते, इस लिए शरद पवार में उन्हें नया तारणहार नजर आ रहा है। वास्तव में शरद पवार ने एसा कोई करिश्मा नहीं कर दिखाया है महाराष्ट्र में। एसा होता तो शिव सेना से दो सीट कम क्यों लाते? दूसरे क्रम के पक्ष के रूप में क्यों नहीं उभरते? इस में कोई शंका नहीं है कि उन्होंने अकेले यह लडाई लडी और बारिश में भी सभाएं इस वय में की है। लेकिन इस के पीछे अपने दल की जमीन बचा कर उस को बेटी सुप्रिया को सोंपने की विवशता भी तो हो सकती है। भतीजे अजित पवार ने चाचा की पारिवारिक राजनीति के चलतेो वैसे भी हाथ खडे कर लिए थे।
और रही बात सरकार बनाने की, तो उन का जो स्टैन्ड है कि भाजप-शिवसेना को जनादेश मिला है, अतः वे ही सरकार बनाए, ये एसे ही नहीं जन्मा है। कॉंग्रेस अध्यक्षा सोनिया गांधी को मिल कर उन्होंने सरकार बनाने को लेकर उनका मन टटोलने की कोशिश तो कर ही ली थी और उनके दल से भी शिवसेना को संकेत मिले ही थे, तभी तो शिवसेना इतनी जोर से कूद रही है। चूं कि कॉंग्रेस से दाल नहीं गली, इस लिए शरद पवार अब नैतिकता का राग आलाप रहे है।
दूसरी ओर यह भी कहा जा रहा है कि इडी के जरिये मोदी सरकारने शरद पवार को दबाने की कोशिश की इस लिए एनसीपी को इतनी सीटें आई। लेकिन यह भी सोचिए कि नरेन्द्र मोदी और शरद पवार में स्नेह और आदरभाव किसी से छूपा नहीं है। इस लिए तो २०१४ में शरद पवार और उनके भतीजे पर आरोपों की बौछार करनेवाले नरेन्द्र मोदी ने पीछले कार्यकाल में अपने समर्थको को दुःखी कर के भी उन को पद्मविभूषण दे दिया था। और एक कार्यक्रम में उनकी भरपूर प्रशंसा की थी।
दूसरी ओर २०१४ में विधानसभा चूनाव के बाद शिवसेना रहित लडने के कारण जब भाजप को बहुमत चहिए था, तब शरद पवार के दलने विधानसभा में समर्थन दिया था। राफेल पर जब राहुल गांधी चौकीदार चोर है का राग आलाप रहे थे तब शरद पवार नरेन्द्र मोदी की मदद में आए थे। तो इडी की यह कवायत हो सकती है कि महाराष्ट्र में कॉंग्रेस को छोटा भाई बनाने और एनसीपी को बडा भाई बनाने के लिए नरेन्द्र मोदी के चाणक्य दिमाग से निकली हो।

Shahrukh Khan's interview in 2013 when Bharat was tolerant

When in 2013, Sonia Gandhi remote controlled UPA government was ruling, there were many cases of intolerance. All Girl band Pragassh was banned (read here: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/05/kashmir-all-female-rock-group-disband) , Kamal Hassan's film 'Vishwaroopam' was banned due to protest from muslims, CNN IBN (when secular Rajdeep Sardesai was its head) anchor asked Shahrukh Khan @iamsrk about rising intolerance.

He just avoided it by saying that I am actor. When anchor further pushed Shahrukh Khan for speaking all girls band which was targetted by Kashmiri muslim fanatics, he just said I don't want to have specific  chatter and talk about things which are religious and politics. So you can talk to me about my films. Generically I would say that yes, I am artist and I support freedom of expression.

Anchor again pushed Shahrukh Khan to say about intolerance but Shahrukh Khan diplomatically again avoided question by saying I speak about work that I know better.

Did Sonia also not want Pranab Mukherjee to become president?

Pranabda with Indira Gandhi (Courtesy: Hindustan Times)

Narendra Modi has smartly put his hand on paining spot of Congress. He said yesterday in Kolkata rally that it was Gandhi family which didn't make Pranab Mukherjee prime minister, not only once but twice. He elaborated when Indira Gandhi, then prime minister was murdered in 1984, Pranab Mukherjee was not only senior person but also experienced and very deserving person to become prime minister. But he was not made PM. Not only that, Rajiv Gandhi even didn't inducted him in his cabinet.
In 2004, Sonia Gandhi was set to become PM as leader of biggest party but there was much opposition so she gave up and later it was publicized as her sacrifice. At that time too, Pranab Mukherjee was senior most leader in Congress. But instead of him, Sonia chose Mr. 'Yes, Madam' Manmohan Singh. Narendra Modi's raising of issue has significance, because Modi has been often blamed for sidetracking his mentor 'Guru' L.K.Advani (which is not true as Advani got two time chance to lead BJP in general elections and failed.). Modi said this in West Bengal.
Modi forgot to add in his point one thing and that is Pranab Mukherjee was also not first choice of Sonia Gandhi for president candidate.
Actually, for presidency, Pranab Mukherjee was highly willing and his name was almost unanimous within all parties, but Sonia Gandhi wanted then vice president Hamid Ansari to become president. But, at that time, it is said that Pranab Mukherjee played smart games through Mamata Banerjee and Mulayam Singh. As it is known, Mamata and Mulayam together supported A.P.J.Abdul Kalam for president post. And BJP, JDU and other opposition parties were ready to support Kalam. So, Kalam could have won easily against Ansari.
Now, it was obvious that Sonia would not prefer Kalam to become president, because in 2004, it is rumoured that Kalam didn't prefer Sonia to become prime minister. However, it was denied lately, but one thing was sure. Kalam would not behave like stamp president. Instead of him, Sonia might have thought that, Pranabda could be better choice. In this circumstances, Congress decided to field Pranabda and all know well that, after Pranabda's name was announced Mulayam took U turn and backtracked on supporting Kalam. Mamata was left alone. But it seemed to be part of Pranabda's strategy. Thus, Pranab Mukherjee became President and for sake of competence, BJP fielded P.A.Sangma to be defeated. 

Reasons why AAP perfromed dramatically in Delhi Elections 2013?

(1) It was born out of anti corruption movement. Arvind Kejriwal was arrested during movement. He exposed so much scams. He dared to expose Robert Vadra, son in law of Sonia Gandhi. He dared to expose scam of Nitin Gadkari. That's why he became hero.
(2) Use of social media extensively. Infact, they used social media as tool from day one and response to Jan Lokpal movement was big due to socia media.
(3) Connected youth. Its founders are all youth, be it Arvind Kejriwal or Manish Sisodia or charming Shazia Ilmi. They appealed to youth. They attracted new age bollywood people like Vishal Dadlani and MTv host Rajeev Laxman.
(4) Founder is with mission. Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia left lucrative jobs like IRS and journalist to fight against corruption. They became ideals. While in other parties, no persons are there who can become ideals. In Congress and BJP, there were such leaders like Lal Bahadur Shastri and Kushabhau Thakre, but at present there is no one.
(5) They raised those issues which no other parties cared about. Congress and BJP both had match fixing like situation in Delhi and at center. Price rise, high power bill, water scarcity were the main issues, but Congress didn't care to solve it. BJP didn't oppose effectivley. Had it not declared Dr. Harshwardhan as CM candidate, BJP could not have become single largest party.
(6) Selection of candidates. They choose candidate having common man background. Like Jarneil Singh who threw shoe at P. Chidambaram. Journalistd Jarnail Singh asked Chidambaram how Jagdish Tytler got clean chit from CBI in 1984 anti sikh riots, after Chidambaram didn't give satisfactory answer, he threw shoe at him. Voters elected him. This shows how much anger is there in public. AAP also selected commando who got injured in 26 November attack on Mumbai. 

Did Congress miss the bus by not fielding Priyanka Gandhi against Modi?

It could be considered as Congress's master stroke. Yesterday all prime news channels of Bharat telecasted news that Congress will field Priyanka Gandhi in campaign all over Bharat. However, after hours long discussion on what would happen after Priyanka's entry at national level politics, Congress dismissed reports and counter blamed that it was BJP which spread this news to cover its failure in handling Madhya Pradesh temple stampede. Questions are:
(1) Who spread this news?

(2) Why did someone spread this news?

(3) Why did Congress backtrack?

If Congress would have decided to field Priyanka Gandhi at national level against Narendra Modi, it
would be difficult for Narendra Modi to face Priyanka because Modi could be unable to speak against Priyanka as he uses to speak against Rahul as it would be Woman respect case and if Modi speaks against Priyanka in disgracefull manner, Modi could loose his popularity in women voters.
And also from preliminary impression, it seems Priyanka is more intelligent than Rahul Gandhi. She is cute. She has good Hindi speaking skills unlike her mother Sonia. And BJP would not be able to oppose Priyanka becoming prime minister as it did against Sonia Gandhi citing her foreign roots.
It is tregedy of Bhartiya people that they decide to vote on basis of Charismatic personality and not on basis of issues. It implies to even Narendra Modi whose image is like Rajinikanth of Bhartiya politics who can do everything to save people. So chances are high that people can go for Priyanka as she has fair skin, cute smiley face and beautiful figure like indian actresses.
People have tried and tasted Rahul Gandhi who sometimed does immature acts like tearing Samajwadi Party manifesto in Uttar Pradesh assembly election and terming ordinance to save convicted MPs-MLAs from disqualification as NONSENSE. While Priyanka is yet to pass such tests. She has campaigned just in Amethi and Raibareli. She is not given by congress responsiblity to win full state elections/loksabha elections like Rahul. Her views are not known. Rahul uses to be silent on important issues. It will have to be seen what type of attitude Priyanka adopts on important issues. She was also silent on women sensitive issues such as Delhi Gang rape. So there are many pros and cons for Priyanka Gandhi's success.
Considering above facts, Priyanka Gandhi could have been proven Trump Card for Congress, then why it backtracked. Was it mischief of BJP to test reactions of political parties, public and media what if Congress plays its trump card? Was game plan of Congress leaked at earlier stage? Did Congress miss the bus by not endorsing news reports about fielding Priyanka against Modi?There are lot of questions that need to be answered.
