When I heard and read as well as saw photographs that Narendra Modi wore a a Rs 9 lakh suit to receive Obama, the US president , it struck me that here is man who is not only vain, but more in love with himself. The US President commented that Modi was like a Mumbai film star. We have not seen or read of such costly dresses being worn by simple plebian leaders of people , though royalty is an exception. One can associate such a dress with the pomp and show of a king or empress, but certainly not with a plebeian leader.
Modi has some serious identity problems. He claims he is a backward caste to win votes, but again his antics and to use the words in hindi " Harkat" , are not of a man belonging to a lower strata of society. Could be, he uses his back ward caste origin only for votes and has no real empathy for the downtrodden and destitute. In case he was really concerned would he give 3 billion dollars gratis to nations like Bangladesh and Mongolia, from we may get nothing in return.?
Modi has lead the party, the BJP on some glib slogans. These slogans are what they are, simply hollow and meaningless. A look at his slogans and speeches and the promises he has mad will make a man die laughing on a bed of nails. A few choice ones are brought out below
> I will not allow corruption, nor will I allow anybody else to benefit from corruption
> I will ensure that One Rank One Pension is sanctioned forthwith
> I will ensure that proprietary is maintained in Public life
There are many more, which Modi has only mouthed, because it suited him. Perhaps that is the game of all politicians , but certainly not the stuff which leaders who make a name in history indulge in. Obviously Modi will not be a mover or shaker in world history and his aim seems to be to just live life in a regal manner and look sombre and serious. It's a mask and those who wear a mask are always seen for their true worth later on.
Let me advice Mr Modi that he has Saturn in his 12th house, showing meteoric rise and precipitous fall. It's known as the house of Napoleon and we all know what happened to Napoleon. So the future and God may yet cut Modi to size.
