Excellent episode. It really brings out the point that Modi is not just a brilliant/ smart guy. He has worked hard on ground and experimented enough to develop this judgement.
A lot of surprising insights from this episode. Many thanks. I rarely thought of Modi as a strategist. He seemed like a popular leader, who could deliver on his promises. That he engineered some unusual alliances and electoral strategies comes as a surprise to me. Perhaps, it is this experience which helps Modi to navigate through the complex geopolitics of the present day. Glad that such an insightful person is our PM, not a couch potatoe.
Thank you, Mr Iyer. Yes, I do love my journalism. ThePrint does offer a journalist the opportunity and space to write and talk his mind. And it makes our day when we hear from perceptive readers and viewers like you. Thank you for your feedback.
This is absolutely true. Excellent DK sir. PM himself is a brilliant strategist. He understands Sangathan, ticket distribution etc numerously. He has played a significant role in training HM Amit Shah. PM Modi became a leader, built a mass image but still even though HM Amit Shah does the management work but still the final decision is taken by PM himself. PM needs Amit Shah, RSS etc but all of BJP need him more than anyone else because of the infinite qualities he brings on the table being a individual is truly unmatched today to any other politician. BJP cannot win 150 seats without Brand Modi in Lok Sabha elections.
Thank you, finally someone acknowledges the hard work and the mind behind scattering away the opposition 🙏 This was truly a good one. Although your organization never seems to acknowledge the irresponsible and absolutely disgusting nature of the opposition parties in never once truly fighting for the PPL they represent and the disgusting nature of how they conveniently forget the constitution that they swear to uphold. Not once have you guys truly exposed Chidambaram and the congress cronies role in national herald. Instead you shamelessly cover the "Satyagraha" against the lawful enquiry of Rahul Rajiv and his ilk.
Hi Akshay, I do feel a bit perturbed to read what you feel. May I urge you to watch our coverage a bit closely? Trust me you will start judging us differently if you can spare time to read and watch all of us as a unit.
While listening to this story....13 minutes felt like 13 seconds....that's the impact of Modi and Shah...bravo....Jaihind..More courageous ppl like them must join RSS and BJp for the country's sake..or encourage our kids to join RSS and BJP too... we must work for the country& dharma..if not bloody scmagress and local goon parties will destroy us completely...be aware....Indian ppl...
I feel that only the real hustlers reach the top in BJP party and not due to some family connections. That's why BJP has perfected the method to extract best leaders out of each state and support them in building India.
If the product is good it is easy to find a way to popularise and market it.... There are brilliant political advisers behind Rahulji too....! But the product is not marketable.
Leader centric Democracy is an extension of British Raj -- Why are we so much engaged with leaders ? When I last checked India is still Democratic and Republic - Relegating everything to one person is very very bad
@@sureshpolali8685 It is because that is what most of the voting population on this country have always wanted. We've had instance of parties in various states attempting to fight elections along the concept of party first and leader second but they've always lost to the party where the leader stands out tall. Our democracy has preferred strong, centralised parties by votes and so that is what we've always had.
@@DevoteeOfAergia We have election every 5 years == WHY ?.. because it is written in constitution . There are 104 ammendements to constitutions took place so far .. Constitution is NOT untouchable -- There was no computer when constitution was written -- World has changed -- Boundries are rewritten of many countries and there are various wars taking place right now one in UKRAINE -- hence ultimately what is right to people need to be put in place == Even if we have practice of leader first nation next that has been propagated through various means such as vote bank politics -- Recommendation system foe school seats -- recommendation system for small small obvious things like water connection - even for ration -- Hence people at large started thinking leader is very big -- We need massive change in the system -- reduce importance of leaders -- Provide basic menities without difficlties such as DL / Registration of house / transport etc.. Let there be openness among govt money spending through digital app etc.. People should think ministers are actually parasites on the people's money -- A lot can be done using Digital technology -- I have more than 50 ideas on this front - All are innovative ideas
@@sureshpolali8685 If you have strong conviction that your ideas can lead to a far better democracy than we have right now, you should try to join a political party with a decent vision and attempt to change the situation slowly from the ground up. It could be in whichever state you reside. Major change requires years of work on the ground to accomplish using political power obtained across those years.
@@DevoteeOfAergia I have posted many ideas in PM Idea website -- I do not agree " IT WILL TAKE TIME " statement -- CHANDRABABU NAIDU took HYDERABAD in to international city within 15 years as he was passionate and clever in doing that - most important point is people of Andra Pradesh wanted to progress. Same is not true in PATNA or LUCKNOW -- Even though CM YOGIJI is very very hardworking and wants to uplift UP , but political system is such that in next election SP BSP can come to power and can spoil everything -- Hence Private investment is not coming to UP the level which is envisaged while investing lakhs or crores on infrastructure -- Please note a 3 KM stretch in Bangalore has 200 MNC deliver centers which has barely basic infra structure -- Its people makes teh difference -- Hence this jibe of " It will take time " is easy way out for unscrupulous politicians who wants to enjoy status quo and grab all the resources for themselves .. All changes happen suddenly -- No oneknew in 1947 India will get independce even in 1944 when QUIT INDIA Movement was declared failure .. Hence slow and bottomup approach and all only looks good on paper - Actually things can happen pretty fast -- in 1945 JAPAN was devastated -- By 1969 they are force to reckon with in international trade -- HOW ?
My wife's cousin who worked with Modi in Delhi during 1990's used to say how PM was a shrewd politician but later became the most popular leader in independent India.
Mr Singh has always come across as quite diligent and conscientious in his analyses and this one is no exception. One reason Mr Modi is admired so much by the Indians is because he is a self-made man, having come up from the trenches, owing to sheer hard work and brilliancy. We are fortunate that Mr Modi is at the helm.
I am sorry, Mr. Mehta, I don't get into scams. There are so many shades of truth and falsehood in each of them. I am not capable of judging. Why to get into things I have not much credible information about? I know you may want to get to the root of the alleged scam but I am simply incapable of providing an answer.
It's a really brilliant episode on politics! It brings out many facets of Modi's political strategies. It proves that in Modi's political strategies "all is fair in love and war, and POLITICS". Taking help from such corrupt leaders from opposition party who even their own party avoided is all okay. FINE. All good as long as it helps them win elections. But now look at the result. Now that BJP is at the helm and it has full legislative power, it uses central agencies like CBI, ED, IT etc. brazenly to disrupt opposition, it has undermined independence of most of the autonomous institutions, even the judicial appointments have become political. The casualty is democratic principles. Can India afford that? BTW the simple objective of politics is to serve people i.e. proper and just governance. The citizens as a whole have nothing to do with the brilliance in political strategies if governance becomes the casualty.
BJP has split corruption into TWO --- BJP corruption is called GOOD Corruption and OK -- Congress corruption is called ED corruption which to be raided and chased
Huh so stupid... U lecture about judicial autonomy, Check how many judges joined Congress before Modi became PM. How Indira Gandhi did politics in judiciary.... Congress didn't even spare Army, remember Gen VK Singh controversy. But u cry now that BJP is destroying so called democratic principles as if scamgress was pure. Which cm faced most of the harassment and inquiry? It's Modi... Didn't UPA govt use CBI, SIT, diplomacy everything against Modi to trap him? Modi didn't raise a hue and cry, didn't do Street protest drama, he calmly cooperated with those agencies.
Guess, who argued irrationally in favour of Neerav at UK court? It's ur beloved Congress leaders who were Justices. Means do u understand how Justices judges used to serve for Gandhi family and after retirement joined Congress.
@@DKSingh-wf8tn My limited point is to express my abhorrence for anyone romanticising, glamourising, glorifying and normalising a criminal. A person may have been a decent citizen at one point and harsh circumstances may have pushed him or her towards crime but there will be thousands like that person who have resisted that temptation. Even as such a person evokes sympathy he or she should evoke no sympathy once the line of lawful behaviour is crossed. I remember Alexander Solitzylitsin, the Russian Noble prize winning novelist referring to Raj Kapoor’s character in Shri 420 with disapproval in his novel ‘cancer ward’. I am shocked well known film makers like Rahul Dholakia find bad characters like Abdul Latif fascinating enough to make a film on him. Same holds good for Dawood or Daku Man Singh.They should be buried in layers of ignominy and forgotten!
Your presentation was captivating 🙏. You looked overawed across the entire episode. I wonder by what? Author's brilliance or Modi's genius? Point to ponder for you, may be. Regardless, I liked what you spoke.
Overawed! I hate to hear or watch myself lest I should curse myself for messing up. But, for a change, now that you have pointed out, I will. Have to reserve my response to what you have noticed. Thank you so much for your feedback.
Thanks. #PolitcallyCorrect is a weekly episode that comes on Tuesdays, usually, unless I slacken or start shirking. Will try to be more regular and predictable in terms of timing.
Not because bjp is liberal but bjp knows politics better than any political party the world. As an opposition for more than 3 decades they knew the rules and how to manipulate them.
BJP is very strong party with lots of discipline, congress party and communist or other small political party of cast based( yadhav for example) are not strong enough to implement a decision. VP sing brought Mandal commission and after that so many caste parties came in power all of them collapse by 2022. You do not even here from Mayawati anymore. In Bengal, Mamatha did not bring any magic bangles are travelling all over Bharath as beggars. So many cities are super developed in india like Hyderabad or indoor but look at Delhi it is still in pathetic condition.
Of course Modi is sitting in PM chair not because of fluke,he is here because of his long term strategy and hardwork .No wonder why Amit Shah considers him Guru
DK, as usual a true analysis of the events as they were, are and possibly will be. Now, various narratives by any and everyone, much like historical accounts, can be “manuscriptulated” as per preconceived notions and desired effect. In regard to the just concluded T20 Asia cup cricket match which India lost to Pakistan, the narrative can be that Pakistan played brilliantly or India dropped catches and lost. Tailpiece: What is evident is that BJP has a real workable plan for the Party and the Nation (except possibly a formal security doctrine for the Nation, which may be in the making) … one may like / approve it or not, that there is a plan cannot be disputed. And that is saying a lot in the current political dispensations in India.
For Modiji BJP the magic is working only due to mistakes of other state and national parties. If Modiji BJP today forfeit caste and religion politics then they are unstoppable.
@@akshayagrawal5114 no complete and utter horse shit. They didn’t. UP was a an election bjp actually started fighting on their record of good governance. How can you miss interpret things so badly ??
Hello. I'm most interested in d subjects u talk about. Sadly, despite several attempts, I've been unable2 fully comprehend/digest ur speech. May I suggest that u spk too fast. Kindly listen to AAP KA AKHBAR & C if u can emulate his delivery, emphasis on critical words/matters. It wl b beneficial2ur listeners.
Excellent- i always was wondering how this uneducated guy (Modhi - his hate for anyone not extreme Hindu)become great leader to so many uneducated and poor people (Hindu people are great people from my experience as a Muslim - see how we live happily together in India and World) , he used form friendship with previous Jamu and Kashmir Muslim leaders and then imprisoned them and now using Ghulam Nabi Azad as a friend by giving him awards and getting him to destroy Congress Party etc to take over J/Kashmir via the back door without GNAzad evening knowing what is about to hit him and J/Kashmir. He is Excellent Fascist who will oppress Christians and Muslims in India and make this great nation called India into sad intolerant country, He even gone to oppressive Muslim Countries (he hates them but they need each other to oppress people in his case Christians and Muslims and Arab leaders to oppress their own people especially Shias) to form friendship with.
All advertisement party Will do everything Except showing real images of govt. Hospitals and schools in Delhi And paying 30million loans of centre too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Painful truth. Unless politics is cleaned up and three are drastic changes, there is no escapes. Who will make the changes? Anyone who come out as leader gets consumed by politics and becomes part of it. AAP was hope, but looks like there is no hope there as there is no internal elections in APP. It is now Kajriwal's party. It was suppoed to be people's party.
Excellent Analysis -- BUT after 8 years of central rule of BJP and that too TWO MEN show in central govt -- there is quite some "itch" among voters at large ( like 7 year itch in married life) - what is BJP central govt is up-to ?.. Can they deliver what they are saying -- August 5th 2019 announcement of Abrogation of Article 370 was brilliant move much bigger than the victory of 2019 May .. BUT there after every action of central govt is facing huge resistance -- Be it CAA, Farmer Bill , Language issue , Economy , unemployment , COVID certificate picture etc.. Hence like Mutual Fund advertisement disclaimer Past Success is no guarantee for future success - See what is happening in BJP ruled Karnataka and MP , What happened to WB assembly election in 2020 ( TMC increased its Talley) -- Toppling DRAVIDA party in TN is near impossible -- KERALA is gone -- Telangana is a tough fight -- Karnataka is on its way out in 2023 May due to huge corruption charges -- Hence going forward it will not be so easy -- And impact of SOCIAL MEDIA is gigantic now --- Whatever one say WHATSAPP has significant influence on people's thinking.. There is no Alternative ( TINA ) and hence BJP might come in 2024 -- BUT not through positive votes -- New generation ( less than 30 years of age ) aspirations are entirely different -- ROTI KAPDA MAKAN has been replaced by Toilet , NAL PE JAL etc.. and GARIBHI HATAO is replaced by SUBKA SAATH --- slogans -- The country can not be run by TWO leaders - the party cadre at state level is not up to the mark - Overall BJP as a whole is disappointing
I would love to. Just that I am not sure if I would sound repetitive, boring and vacuous if I do it so often. I would really hate to see a message from you, telling me, "Please, don't overdo it. Take some time to prepare before you open your mouth.... 🙂
I clicked the video and I was like what the heck!!? Did I just click another video,then I understood *paiso ka chakkar babu bhaiya,paiso ka chakkar* 😁😂
There is no need to expound this Modi-Amit Shah game plan analysis in detail. It all zeros down to the fact of Saffron brigades playing anti-Muslim card inciting communal pressure points to garner Hindu votes in favour of the ruling front. The question is, how long can these duo fool or deceive the people's perception of a dark, ominous and minacious threat from a particular minority community of an imminent doomsday for India, in the coming years. Can someone please, elucidate.
Excellent- i always was wondering how this uneducated guy (Modhi - his hate for anyone not extreme Hindu)become great leader to so many uneducated and poor people (Hindu people are great people from my experience as a Muslim - see how we live happily together in India and World) , he used form friendship with previous Jamu and Kashmir Muslim leaders and then imprisoned them and now using Ghulam Nabi Azad as a friend by giving him awards and getting him to destroy Congress Party etc to take over J/Kashmir via the back door without GNAzad evening knowing what is about to hit him and J/Kashmir.

These words saffron brigade,communal,anti-muslim and calling him uneducated,Chai walla as if only degrees provide wisdom is what fuels BJP, till the time so called minorities (Muslims,Christians) vote in a block,BJP will always thrive, bcos these minorities will not vote based on the candidate, they will only vote what their religious leaders instruct them to.This behaviour of minorities is what makes majority people insecure and tilt towards BJP.
Congress needs to learn, adapt and counter these strategies to have any future. They talk only about populism only nowadays and forget that they need to improve strategiziing wish they can improve now at least. I find it funny how they forget that the whole political history of their in India is one big populist relay race much easily achieved compared to decades of huslte of Janta/BJP.
all the strategies emerging form the sharpest of the brains go in vain if u dont have a genuine passion for what u r doing emerging form the heart,. if there is any biggest strategy of modi , it is loving india from the bottom of his heart and doing his best to serve the country, unless u dont have such passion and if anyone thinks that he is going to win by pure strategy of brains without a heart in it, it cant stand the test of the time
Yes but what can you do when the punjabis are stubborn like ox and unable to really think for themselves and use their brains. Let’s face it they were never real farmers. They are simply exploiter and destroyers of the land
I can see your sarcasm but I can just say that I am not making any value judgement here. All I am driving at is the fact that Modi is not just a mass leader. He's a brilliant political strategist whose original ideas are driving the BJP even today. It's not my job as a reporter to say what's wrong and what's right. You expect me to bring you information and let you take a call on what's right and what's wrong. You can always tell me I haven't brought you enough information and insight. But that'd be a commentary on my ability as a reporter, which doesn't have to be seen as a reflection of any political/ideological bias.
@@DKSingh-wf8tn Let me clarify, my post may sound sarcastic to some, but it was not. Withdrawal of farm laws was a strategic move .took wind out of the sails of opposition. long live mr Modi
