Arvind Kala - Is Modi a fool or a hypocrite?
He is both. A lot of
Modi's foolishness flows from his extreme narcissism. He adores himself so much
that he's dazzled by his own brilliance. That self-love drives Modi to
attention-grabbing gimmicks. When he came to power, he coined Make in India
from Made in India. And his Sher-mukh lion-like face split into a grin as he
marvelled at how wonderful he was. Modi never tires of admiring himself.
Never mind while he
was propagating Make in India, Indians themselves were buying Made in China. As
they do today. That doesn’t bother Modi. His job as PM is to announce grand
plans. Not to implement them. He has other urgent tasks. Like getting into a
green or pink kurta and jetting off to Burundi or Mongolia. Whichever place
will have him.
Looking back, Modi's
Make in India slogan marked his emergence into a linguistic Smart Aleck. Who
uses catchy phrases to enchant India. I will Reform Perform Transform, he said
in one speech. A Mission drives us. A Commission drives them, Modi said in
another speech. To farmers he declared, I'll make you T-O-P TOP. T for
tomatoes, O for onions, P for potatoes. On and on Modi goes with catchy phrases
he cooks up and falls in love with.
To Tripura people, he
says: I'll give you three T’s. T for trade, T for tourism, and T for training. Before
a Tripura poll, Modi’s idiocy surpassed itself. The opposing Tripura CM's first
name was Manik which means gemstone. So Modi told voters: Instead of a
gemstone, we'll give u a HIRA (diamond). H for Highway, I for I-way, R for
Railway, A for Airway.
Incredible! A PM
falling in love with his own linguistic acrobatics. But that is exactly what
happens to narcissists. They have only one companion. The genius in their
mirror. Modi's narcicissm blazes. Priyanka Chopra's wedding celebration? He
lands up. Atal Behari Vajpayee's funeral cortege? He walks right behind it. TV
cameras around? Modi gets out of his car to take a Selfie. To tell India how
cute and like a teenager he is. Looming school exams in India? Modi must figure
there too. So he produces a booklet Exam Warrior giving tips on how to take
exams. Though he's never been to school himself. Modi's monthly radio
address to India also comes from his self-absorption. No one listens to Man ki
Baat in this time-short age. That thought won't cross Modi's mind. For him, his
radio address is a monthly treat for India. Modi's completed 50 of these radio
talks. And he'll carry on even from his coffin.
Modi's crowning
stupidity however, is his hugging of world leaders. I get goose bumps when I
see those images on TV. Vladimir Putin's face curled up in distaste with Modi's
arms wrapped around his middle. Hollande of France arching back to reduce
contact with Modi's bloated body. Every leader receiving a Modi hug has one
facial expression. The expression you get when someone sneezes and sprays you
with droplets. Modi's such a bungler he doesn't even hug right. Hugging a much
taller leader, I forget who, Modi nuzzles into his chest like a baby looking
for the mother's breast.
When hugging Donald
Trump, Modi didn't see one plain truth. A womaniser like Trump would like sexy
blondes hugging him. Not a bearded old man from Surat. Enough on Modi's
foolishness however. Let's move to Modi's hypocrisies. They blaze even more…
