I often tend to have political discussions with a lot of people around me. Some supporting Congress Government, Some Narendra Modi and Some supporting BJP but only if we minus Mr. Modi as PM. I am not a fan of any one Political Party as such. But in current scenario, I am guilty as charged in extending my support Mr. Modi for the post of PM.
As it often happens, when you have discussion with people who have different views, the discussion throw up a lot of new perspectives and sometimes get heated and emotional. Lot of times, I had discussion with a lot of people who are anti-Modi and during my discussion with them, I have realized that their whole argument against Mr. Modi revolves around 2002 Gujarat riots. A Modi supporter like me will always refer to development in Gujarat, Mr. Modi's appearance as Strong Leader etc. But all the arguments will end up in question from other party as "What about Gujarat Riots??".
So, I have been giving it a though and a very important question that comes to my mind is that Why is Rest of India have a different perspective about Gujarat riots than Gujarat People themselves. Were they not the ones who experienced the riots first hand? Rest of the India knows about the riots only through media and what other political parties say. Isn't it? I don't think anyone outside Gujarat would know about the riots more than Gujarati's themselves? Then what is the reason I don't see any Gujarati complaining about the riots? Why have the people of Gujarat choose Mr. Modi as Chief Minister of Gujarat again and again? Why they go out every time and vote him back and that too with RECORD breaking numbers (71.32% voter turnout in 2012 elections)? Are the people of Gujarat complete idiots to not see how evil their Chief Minister is? I don't believe common man of any city, State or Country is this Stupid to keep voting for a single person all the time if they believe Mr. Modi is responsible for deaths of so many people.
Then why is rest of India (Read Media and Other political parties) have only one argument against Mr. Modi? I believe it is case of misrepresentation by the Media and common man being led to believe something else than what actually people of Gujarat feels.
When we need admission in college or wish to join a new company, the best feedback is given by the current students or the employees of the organisation. Should we not in this case as well go by what people of Gujarat think? I think that should be our approach as the people of Gujarat were the people who had first hand experience of the riots.
I think I have made my point. I would love to hear from you guys on what do you think?

Modi is the tallest, promising and inspiring leader that we have at this time. Having said that there are 2 things which i dont know how he will handle 1) How the entire unit of BJP will work together because after he was elevated there are enough internal issues in BJP and also in Gujarat its only modi modi we dont know what is the second line and all..2) He is extremely polarizing figure he should give a comfort to the people of india that everybody is on board but he is not giving that assurance and if he becomes PM then there is a possibility of hampering communal harmony.
Having said all this , i don't know any other leader who sounds promising.
Secondly all our gen people should get a voter card and be on ground to cast their vote. People will go on networking sites , twitter to show their support for modi but that is not going to help BJP win. All this aggression should transform to vote.
Nicely put together Amit. We do not know what exactly happened in Gujrat. Whatever we know is through propaganda that is spread in Media. Opposition has nothing to attack him so they come and talk about 2002 riots. Was that the only riot took place in Gujrat or in the country. Why media and Congress wants to discuss only Gujrat riots? Recent riots took place in U.P. where Narendra Modi was not CM but under the rule of a party which is said to be pro minority. Whom media wants to blame there?
As elections are coming nearer, Modi is making his vision for India known. People are getting united for pro development leader. I am sure people are getting aware about the need of the hour. People are getting to know who can get country ahead at this time of economic Crisis.
All this aggression on social media is giving opposition sleepless nights :-). Recently LJP party in Bihar got back to NDP who left them in 2002. As elections come nearer few other parties will join as they are getting to know the mood of the people. Anyways, it is going to be very interesting election this time.
Good work again Amit.
