Narendra Modi is on retreat whereas Rahul Gandhi is on the street. Joe Biden, President of United States of America, while relinquishing the Presidential nomination on 24th July, 2024 said, “I revere this office and I love my country more. It is being the honour as President but, in the defence of democracy which is at State, I think, it is more important than personal ambition. I pass on this torch to the new generation to 59 years’ old Kamala Haris.
Joe Biden is a true democrat in the realm of democracy. It can be deduced that one should listen to the people or once’s conscience for the sake of once country. It had happened in Great Britain many a time when its leaders respected people’s verdict or the decorum of democracy.
The democracy is flouring beautifully in these three countries – Great Britain, United States of America and India. But in India, being the biggest democracy, its leaders are defaming the spirit of democracy, which in recent, years is pathetic.
Indian history taught that many kings, saints, reformers, philosophers, freedom fighters and leaders emerged from time to time to save this country from savagery, slavery, authoritarianism, ignorance, religious intolerance, customs, conventions, casteism etc. Such personalities include Emperor Ashok, the Moghuls, the British, Swamy Vivekanand, Subhash Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar etc.
Narendra Modi is on retreat whereas Rahul Gandhi is on the street -An incarnation arrived
Rahul Gandhi is on the street whereas Narendra Modi is on retreat. In spite of efforts to derail, the democracy will finally find its course, by some true democrats or sons/daughters of the soil starting from Mahatma Gandhi to Rahul Gandhi, the disciple of the father of the nation. A new dawn of Modiocracy set in since 2014, when BJP had thrown the Congress government led by Manmohan Singh. It was led by Narendra Damodar Das Modi, a hard-core RSS volunteer of rare kind. It was an anathema to both BJP and the RSS and its disciplined disciple turned out to be an out-cast rebel.
His motive was to rewrite history, annex supremacy over federal States of India and enjoy the supreme power by any means. He trampled upon the institutions, tampered the judicial system, wrecked the political parties, jailed political opponents with vengeance and venomous inclinations. To save Indians from Modiocracy, Modiism and Modicide, an incarnation of democracy arrived on the horizons of the Indian soil to harness the democratic institutions and harvest the sentiments of the citizens of India under the garb of Hinduism.

The paparazzi is after Pappu now
The paparazzi is after Pappu now. Rahul Gandhi is transformed into a gentleman and leader of the people in a span of few years. He has broached a truce with Arvind Kejriwal, his bitter bete noire in Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat and Haryana other parts of the country.
He was successful in the formation of INDIA alliance in association with Mamta Banerjee, Sharad Pawar, Nitish Kumar and Lallu Prasad Yadav and M.K. Stalin. He befriended with Nitish Kumar for a while since he made a significant role in the emergence of INDIA alliance. The BJP led by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah grabbed Nitish Kumar to their side by using Modicide spray and he is still in the grip its influence.
Rahul was instrumental to align with Uddhav Thakre when he was made Chief Minister of Maharashtra (2019 to 2022), though the duo Amit Shah and Narendra Modi effectively used Modicide spray to split both Nationalist Congress Party of Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena of Uddhav Thakre to unseat him.
He played a crucial role in installing a Congress government in Karnataka when he had decided to install H.D. Kumaraswami as Chief Minister (from 23 May 2018 to 23 July, 2019). The effect of Modicide thwarted the efforts of Rahul Gandhi when his government was toppled. However, the BJP lost the next elections, when the Congress formed the government on 20 May, 2023, under the leadership of Siddaramaiah.
His detractors ditched him in the State elections held in 2023 in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh supported by management of Election Commission of India. But he could grab Telangana from K. Chandrasekhara Rao and Himachal Pradesh from BJP in 2023.
