How would you like to remember Modi, where has the country’
By N.K.Singh November 21,2024
Last week, when Google was announcing the launch of a new quantum computing technology-based chip called “Willow”—which even Elon Musk had to say, “Wow”—at that time India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi was reading an elegy to Nehru in the Parliament, telling how the country had fallen into the abyss due to the mistakes of the regime 70 years ago. At a time when China, leaving behind the era of AI, is busy in mastering this technology by spending many times more than the US and the European Union in research on quantum computing, India’s leader and his people are searching for temples under mosques.
In its Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled governments, the District Magistrates consider it their “sacred” duty to find temples under mosques in their areas with the help of local religious hooligans. What did Babur do, what were the faults of Nehru’s rule, the search for a temple under the mosque, who did not say “Bharat Mata ki Jai”, in the business of taking these issues from the streets to the Parliament and from the salon to the Supreme Court, Modi has made the Indian public a victim of collective inertia. As a result, we have fallen far behind in the race of AI.
Instead of discussing these issues, the country’s Parliament is “proud” of street-level incidents in its new “grand” premises where “honorables” push each other, fall down, and then tell “slave” TV channels “who” pushed them. The Prime Minister also made available the tape of his sympathy talk to an “injured” MP of his party admitted in ICU to the “slave” media at the speed of quantum computing.
After the incident, when the “injured” MP from the ruling party said casually after falling, “I was pushed by some other MP in the crowd” then the anchor reminded him of his duty and asked a corrective question “That means Rahul Gandhi pushed you and made you fall”. The MP remembered his parliamentary duty and since then he has been saying the same thing “Rahul Gandhi pushed me and made me fall”.
The hardworking second-rate BJP leaders immediately filed a case against Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi in Parliament Street Police Station adjacent to the premises. The police officers of the police station, prompt in their “duty”, filed the case under sections which carry a punishment of life imprisonment for the accused. Delhi Police is under the Central Government.
There is a Turkish saying “Fish rots from the head first”. Modi changed this time-tested idiom. Now in India, the fish starts rotting from every part – like the metastasis stage of cancer.
A young businessman and his wife, who had felicitated Rahul Gandhi during his last visit to Madhya Pradesh, had to face ED raids. Before committing suicide, the couple alleged in their suicide note that citing ED’s connection with Congress as the reason for the raid, the raiding officers advised them to join BJP. “Everything will be fine”. Perhaps the ED has also been assured that the “holy Ganga”, which had called Modi in the form of “Maa” to contest elections from Varanasi in 2014 and by whose grace till the 2024 elections, he has attained nirvana from biological existence and has come to do some work given by God, will wash away his sin of inducting Congressmen into BJP in this world itself.
WHO has been shouting for decades that malnourished children not only have poor physical and mental but also emotional development. But the anchors of Modi-centric media, who have become loudspeakers, have created an artificial echo of “Bharat Mahaan” and have earned “virtue” by helping the rulers in making the children of the country disabled. It will be easy for the political class to mislead them on the above issues, but in the era of advanced but complex knowledge of AI and quantum computing chips, will this class be able to put the country in competition with China and America? Change priorities.
