Virtual sagacious veracity of the long awaited, long predicted, long calculated, long argued Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-Narendra ManoharDas Modi face-off is ingrained now starting from the Sangh dumping him no-holds-barred. (It is yet to be fully ascertained whether RSS brush off on Modi is ephemeral or long standing or permanent, irretrievable. This however is a sheer fact that the RSS is presently — and “justifiably” — cheesed off with Modi, just short off being totallyenraged).
No-holds-barred New Moon’s presently on between Narendra Modi and RSS. Full Moon between them’s now no where in sight. Much tom-tomed Honey Moon between the RSS and Modi came to the grinding , irretrievable halt when “recalcitrant”(according to RSS ) Modi doggedly obstinately began governing India in what is widely being tom-tomed in raging, fuming, fretting RSS as “Tyrannical 1-man show against
all’s extrovert, introvert, ambivert, tacit wishes.” Modi couldn’t care less and justifiably so because he is reportedly fully convinced that India chala tha Modi ke saath , Modi ke vajaha se, ab bhee India chal raha hai Modi ke saath, Modi ke vajaha se , Aur chalta hee rahega Modi ke saath Modi ke hee vajaha se , eesme na Bhajpa (BJP) na RSS ka koi hai, yeh seerf aur seerf akela Modi ka hee mehnat , kamaal, parishram hai. Bharateeon ne Modi ko vote dee-eh hain, aage bhee dete rahenge, denge.”
RSS agrees in toto there. That’s it. Not a bit more. RSS’s convinced that Modi is for Modi. By Modi, of Modi. If he was otherwise, he would change direct-n-indirect laws, rules, ordinances, conventions, convictions, patterns, the very system/s which are more than anachronous, incongruous. Result : Neat anarchy of all kind. Restlessness in all stages. Impatience writ large. Deceit resorted to. Conceit upperhand. Back to hypocrisy. Hide, concealment, under-the-table modus operandi back in full form. …
Couple that with strong indications of the countrymen back to their fearless days as before. Their Modi-scare has gone. They are back to their old convictions “Sarkar Kya Kar Lega”. “Sab Chalta Hai”. …RSS is not liking this at all. RSS bosses headed by RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat are convinced that they had a large role in propping up Modi to PMship. Modi alone is not responsible for his PMship. Innumerable countrymen egged on by the RSS ensured that Modi ciphered all parties and became PM-personified.
Today if he is a confident PM, it is because RSS threw its fullest weight behind him. In return, Modi did not acknowledge it according to the (RSS’) desired extent. Had he done it even mildly, Ram Temple would have been constructed in Ram Janam Bhoomee by now, Ayodhya would have become synonymous with Hindus unlike now when Ayodhya is still shared by the non-Hindus who flagrantly detest Hindus.
The Vaidyas (Madhav Kant, Madhav Govind) are raged at the very mention of the non-Hindus daring to object to Ram, Ram Janam Bhoomee, Ram Temple, Ram Setoo, Ram Van, Ram Vatika, Ram Moortee, Ram Vaanee. And, Maryada Pooroshottom status for Ram.
It can be disclosed now that those who played spoilt sport for Modi are actually extremely close with him. They are also equally close with RSS since generations. They played important roles in convincing RSS to ‘guard’ Modi and be his “guides-all-the-time” to which they readily agreed. When Modi (according to RSS, Sita Devi, Pitroda) engaged himself in “Ekla Cholo Re…Shobaar Daak throw koro…”, he enraged them even though this must be said categorically that Modi repeatedly in public acknowledged Pitroda was his very good friend, Maharani Sita Devi showing her closeness with him being close to him since decades, in her rarest public appearance even attended his swearing in, in Rashtrapati Bhavan. Now both Maharani Sita Devi Sahib of Baroda, Pitroda are against Modi because of his “Single Man Rule” likened to Non-Democratic Ways-and-Means, not at all liked by them at all much like not by the RSS bosses either. They do not want any Hindu to be addressed as Dictator or Tyrannical. They like democracy, democratic persuasion, convivial logic, congenial parlance, persuasiveness, cajoling, coaxing as the Hindu histories emphatically suggest.
BOTTOM LINE : Now that Modi has engaged himself in only Governance for India, by India, of India, his newest detractors (mentioned above) are upto Damocle’s Sword. Will they succeed? Or will Modi outwit them?
