The winter session of Parliament has been a major blow to Modi’s development agenda which has been sidelined by actions of the right wing elements in the party. The most recent one is the conversion row. But if you have been following the headlines lately, they have been around the following 1. Forced conversion row 2. Minister’s hate speech 3. Kiss of love 4. Nathuram Godse is a partriot 5. Bhagwad Gita as national scripture 6. Astrology better than science 7. Sanskrit controversy 8. The Taj Mahal temple campaign Modi won the elections on a development/economic agenda, but just after 6 months, is a communal agenda taking precedence? Is this a deliberate flexing of muscles by certain factions within the BJP which do not feel comfortable with Modi’s shift to a centrist position? Probably faction/s that are not happy with the centralization of power in the PMO? Not sure if the internet savvy youth who turned out in massive numbers to vote for Modi were voting for a modern India and India as a super power were expecting this. Will the fringe undo Modi’s development agenda? Are you comfortable with the recent turn of events? Take the poll now.
