We, senior citizens, are wondering why Prime Minister Narendra Modiji is facing so much hatred. Is he a terrorist? Is he an anti-Indian?
We tried to analyse the facts and our views were that every corrupt politician, black money holder, terror group and antinational are all feeling insecure because of Modi's anti-corruption policies, let it be demonetisation or the linking of Aadhaar with bank accounts or pan-card, etc.
By linking a new base (Aadhaar No.), one million poor disappeared in Maharashtra. More than 30 million (30,000,000) fake LPG connection holders have ended. 1, 95,000 fake children list that used to get scholarships from the madarasas disappeared. Over 1.5 million (1,500,000) fake ration card holders disappeared.
Why and why all this is happening?
The whole black market of the thieves is going to open. It is unfortunate that a petition has been filed in the Supreme Court over the base link as a violation of the fundamental rights. Even some CMs are the petitioners.
Modi has closed more than 3 lakh fake companies. Ration dealers are angry. Property dealers are annoyed. Brokers are miffed with the online system. About 40,000 fake NGOs have been closed, so the owners of these NGOs are cross.
Over the e-tendering process, some contractors have also got angry. So far, the 12 million people who have come under the income tax scan have become angry. With the introduction of GST system, the business people got annoyed, because those people have come to the automatic payment system. The lazy Government officials got angry, as they have to work punctually. The bribe takers too have reasons to be angry.
Fake currency dealers are on the edge. Similarly, terrorist organisations and their funding are under stress.
So, all Modi haters have joined hands to form an alliance to make sure Modi doesn't get a second term. Now, it's for 1.25 billion Indians to decide whether we want to support the corrupt parties or to support the true son of the soil. The ball is in our court.
