Narendra Modi shuld be the next PM of india

Okay. Welcome to the site :) Lets begin. The debate is in reference to the 2014 elections that are going to be pivotal for India. There are two major political parties, Congress and the BJP, who have a fair chance of bagging the rights of ruling the country. What needs to be understood, while trying to form a well considered decision regarding the future political party, is that India is a parliamentary democracy. So, while the position of Prime Minister is important, it is even more important to consider their parties, and the platform of their parties, and whether that platform is conductive for the country. So while laying down my platform, I need to explain 1. Why Narendra Modi won’t be a good Prime Minister. 2. Why BJP’s Platform is catastrophic for the country. 3. Why Rahul Gandhi and Congress are a better alternative. Narendra Modi is a genocide orchestrating murderer: There is considerable evidence of the fact that the murderous response to the 2002 Gujarat riots was anchored by the state machinery under the orders under the orders of Narendra Modi. “The New York Times' Celia Dugger reported that witnesses were "dismayed by the lack of intervention from local police", who often "watched the events taking place and took no action against the attacks on Muslims and their property".[43] Human Rights Watch reported that in some cases members of the state police force led rioting mobs, "aiming and firing at every Muslim who got in the way", or instead of offering assistance "led the victims directly into the hands of their killers."[44] Calls for assistance to the police, fire brigades, and even ambulance services generally proved futile.” In fact, the US department of states, commented on the episode in their International Religious Freedom Report 2003, stating that, “"India's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), an official body, found evidence in the killings of premeditation by members of Hindu extremist groups; complicity by Gujarat state government officials; and police inaction in the midst of attacks. The NHRC also noted "widespread reports and allegations of well-organized persons, armed with mobile telephones and addresses, singling out certain homes and properties for death and destruction in certain districts-sometimes within view of police stations and personnel," suggesting the attacks may have been planned in advance."” Even if we disregard the US report, smack in the middle of the riots, Indian PM Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee stated that “ Once the Parliament passes the resolution by concensus, it is a notice to the Gujarat government to act. “ [1] Considering that this was a statement that possibly indicted his own party, the implicit charge becomes more serious. The statement mirrors the widespread acknowledgement of the fact that Modi was responsible for indicting genocide against Muslims, for their role in burning the Godhara Express and the Hindus in them. Now, a person being touted as the next PM of India CANNOT be a religious zealot. Considering the wide variety of religions in India, having a Hindu fanatic as a national figure, apart from being insensitive to the religious minorities, is positively catastrophic for the country as a whole. What we need, is a leader that handles thecommunal situations intelligently, who de-emphasizes religion in the state. Sadly, Narendra Modi isn’t one of them. 2. Corruption: What do you call a person who kills a lot of people of a specific religion, uses state machinery to carry out the genocide and is never indicted for it? Is this the kind of person we want to become our Prime Minister? The post of Prime Minister has to be accountable to the public, a person who refuses to touch upon this whole huge blot on his personality even at interviews, is dangerous. You cannot, or rather should not give the reigns of a country into his hands. 3. BJP: Considering that India is a parliamentary democracy, the policies of the party have an important impact on the countries future. A party that expected coming to power because of their claims of building Ram Mandir (Rama temple), is banking on religious politics, something that has no place in the secular country that is India. People leading the Ayodhya movement legitly expect to become the future PM of the party, and this reflects the sentiments and projections of the party.Secondly, all the BJP ruled states have a high incidence of “moral policing”, something that’s so subjective and autocratic, that it has no place in a democratic nation like India. Forcing people to adhere to the ‘party moral code’, or the ‘Hindu moral code’, is infringement of the rights guaranteed to us in Article 19 of the constitution.I’ll expand on the points why Congress is better than BJP in the next round. Over to you, Pro :) [1] http://news.bbc.co.uk...[2] http://www.bjp.org...; The BJP menifesto.
