Modifesto: A Close Look .

Interestingly, even as the first votes are going to be cast in next couple of days, BJP, which 'officially' declared .

its PM candidate almost a year back, could not manage time yet to release its 'manifesto'. All we have is a .

daily str·eam of live telecasts, almost round the clock, of vituperative ralty addresses by ModiI One single .

Manifesto substituted by a daily Modifesto. .

The most unprecedented phenomenon of the 2014 elections has been the NaMo PR exercise. It has been running for years now-.

powered by hlred desi-videshi PR agencies , big corporates and complicit media houses. One of the tag lines of this unusually .

.

extended exercise was "Forget 20021 See the 'growth' and 'governance' of Modi regime". .

But can a tiger ever change Its stripes? With every passing day, Modi and his team has affirmed that contempt, hatred, and .

.

violence towards the minorities and denigration of the oppressed sections is embedded in his imagery, his metaphors, and his .

politics. His own speeches make itvery clear that Modi's communal plank isn't a thing ofthe past-It's very much his recipe .

forpowerIn the present and near future. .

'Burqua ofSecularism': On 15 July 2013 Pune Modi jeeringly referred to the " 'burqa' of secularism"-Isn't it obvious Why he chose .

to use the word 'burqa' used by the Muslim women, instead of the word ;purdah' which is used by Hindus and Muslims alike. .

.

I'm a Hindu Nationalist: On 12 July 2.01 ~in his infamous Reuter interview, Modi called himself a 'Hindu nationalist'. .

Calling the victims ofthe Gujarat genocide as "puppies crushed under the wheels of a car." said Modi in the same Reuters .

interview. .

Communalising Meat Export: At a Khandwa rally on 22 November 2013 he said, "La/ Bahadur Shastri used to talk of 'green .

.

revolution'but the UPA Government is encouraging 'pink revolution'bypromoting meat exports. They are giving subsidy to setup slaughterhouses... cows and other animals are getting slaughtered... Export cotton andpay tax, export mutton and get subsidy." .

Subsequently, he repeated the same theme in Nawada Biharon 2 April, 2014 and at Ghaziabad on 2 April 2014. The Nawada and .

Ghaziabad versions of the speech were more vitriolic. In Nawada he added, ''This is the land ofpeople who worship cows. How can you support those who supportcow slaughterr, with the clear intent to use communal provocation as a means to voo votes. .

This is directly in line with the Sangh's communal propaganda on 'cow slaughter,' demonising the minority communities by has often been cited as a pretext for communal riots in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. No wonder, after these speeches on 4 April there.

associating them with 'slaughtering cows and other animals.' It is also well known how the alleged stealing of cows by Muslims was a similar flare-up in Pilibhit, UP. Farmers' groups demand subsidies for their products without pitting this against subsidies .

for meat producers. But Modi insists on givingfarmers· demands a communal twist. .

Politics of75% vs. 25%: At the Agra raJiy of 22 Nov 2013, he talked of the UPA Government of jjneglecting anddoing injustice to 75 percent ofthe people andplaying games tor25percentofthe people." It is the same rally, where the two UP MLAs, Sangeet Som and Suresh Rana, accused in the Muzatfarnagar riots, were felicitated. Isolating ONLY the Muslim refugees from Bangladesh: In the 22 Feb Assam 2014 rally he talked of accommodating Hindu migrants from Bangladesh in India while distinguishing those who are brought for 'vote bank'-an explicit call to isolate only those Bangladeshi migrants who are Muslims! .

Amit Shah's call for "revenge to insult" in Muzaffamagar:At a meeting with Jat community leaders in Muzaffarnagar on 3 April, 2014 Amit Shah sa1d, ''This election is about voting outthe government that protects andgives compensation to those who killed Jats. It is about bad/a (revenge) and protecting izzat (honour)... A man can live without food orsleep. He can live when he is thirsty and hungry but when he is insulted, he cannot live. Apmaan ka bad/a to lena hoga, an insult has to be avenged. "The BJP backed .

never cut its umbilical cord from the RSS which remains the fountain -head ofthis hate ideology and politics. .

Recently, In an ETV interview of 1 April2014 Modi reaffirmed: "Foundation plays a vital role in the formation ofan Individual. It is little known that Modi has written a book in Gujarati "Shree Guru}/: Ek SwayamsevaKwhich is publicised as "Shri Narendra.

Ridiculing Freedom Struggle: "Anti-Britishism was equated with patriotism and nationalism. This reactionary view has had .
