I am clear I will support the BJP only because of Mr. Modi.
We were, in a way, out-marketed because we couldn't really compete with the BJP that went into elections under Mr Modi.
I completely believe in the leadership and vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and it is because of this that I have joined the BJP.
I'm marching for women; I'm marching for the LGBT community. I'm marching for immigrants. I happen to fall into all three categories, so I'm marching for myself at the end of the day and for my family and my friends. And for whoever else deserves it.
There is no Modi wave. He has to attend so many rallies because there is no wave and also, BJP doesn't have a face to project.
The BJP brand of Hindutva was originally rooted in middle-class disenchantment with secular hypocrisies; Modi's version is defined simply by hard-edged hatred.
It is not that the people want a BJP government or Modi as PM. The Nation wants to teach a lesson to those who have ruined the nation.
Modi is country's PM, not BJP's PM only.
Ever since Modi became prime minister, he has given a free rein to his ministers and BJP functionaries to create an environment of communal tension and violence.
Marching diverts man's thoughts. Marching kills thoughts. Marching makes an end of individuality. Marching is the indispensable magic stroke performed in order to accustom people to a mechanical, quasi-ritualistic activity until it becomes second nature.
Although BJP and Congress are two sides of same coin, BJP is far more communal. Since BJP came to power, there is an atmosphere of hatred, and there is a takeover of the democratic institutions.
I have come to know that in BJP married women get nervous when their husbands go near Modi, fearing that like him their husbands may also leave them.
If BJP and its allies have been chosen by the people in state after state across regions, it is due to the good governance that Modi has successfully implemented and the 'can do' spirit of New India that he resonates.
I have made it clear that I am supporting Modi for his work. This does not mean that I am supporting BJP.
If there is a bulwark against the BJP juggernaut, it can only be India's regional parties. But they too falter in the face of the Modi factor and their own lack of commitment to a full time, 365 days a year, 24-hour-a-day political life.
BJP's ideology doesn't permit discrimination on the basis of caste, sect, or religion. Everyone born in India is equal for us.
