When Pandit Nehru expired, there was lot of apprehension - who next to fill up the vacancy of a colossus like Nehru. From 1964 to 66, Lal Bahadur Shastri showed the world that to inspire a nation, the PM didn't require to belong to blue blood . The slogan from the simple dhotiwaala PM, “Jai Jawan, Jai Kishan “ reverberated across the length and breadth of this country at a difficult time which was unheard and unseen. Indiraji’s “ Garibi Hatao” was pale and dull as compared to what Shastri delivered.
Rajiv Gandhi’s untimely death gave PV Narasimha Rao to redeem himself as one of the finest PMs ever to give new direction to the economy of the country.
Atalji was always no pushover and was a highly decorated MP before becoming PM. He was another gem of a PM who delivered against the constant bickering amongst his allies.
Manmohan Singh will perhaps go down in the history for the mega scams during his time. He is often credited with liberation of Indian economy though the credit should go to PM Rao rather than MMS. His ever dependence on a family made PMO actually rudderless. Yet, many of the initiatives which Singh failed to implement with gusto were taken over by Narendra Modi. From GST to Swachh Bharat, contribution of MMS can't be undermined.
Next came the chaiwala and some people still intoxicated by the slave attitude , immediately raised questions on his credibility. One avid follower even asked which language Modi would speak with the foreign dignitaries, as he had never been to any University abroad.
All of us now know what a chaiwala can do !
The crux of my post is there are enough talents even amongst our political leaders including the oldest party as well. Look beyond dynasty to create a bond with the emerging India. This young India never gives a damn for what your great grand Fathers were. The young generation is all about achievement by tireless hard work and dedication. Nothing is taken for granted for sure.
The political parties should listen to the call of time to remain relevant.
