Time and again this question has come up among nationalists and patriots as to why Modi is not taking help from Dr Swamy to resolve the existing mess. Our country is facing crisis on multiple fronts such as Covid-19, economy and India-China face-off, however, Modi govt seems reluctant to take help of nationalistic intellectuals like Dr Swamy.
PM Modi's current team is clueless about tackling the emerging challenges of the country. Whether it is economy, health, defense or foreign policy, Modi cabinet is falling short of public expectations. Even though BJP delivered on Article 370, Ram Mandir and CAA, such changes were an outcome of 30 years of physical and mental struggle of many volunteers, strongly backed by intellectual inputs of Dr Swamy and other seasoned leaders.
However unexpected events of 2020 have brought a new range of issues for the ruling dispensation. The government is traversing the unknown territory, which will be a real test of Modi’s administrative skills, innovative thinking and preparedness for unforeseen eventualities. Till now, the tackling of new challenges has been below par and the government seems to be in dire need of radical ideas which can lift the sentiment.
Time has come for Modi and his team to walk the talk, reduce rhetoric and produce results.
Spreading false narratives with the help of friendly mainstream media and social media channels will only yield short-term relief. Since these narratives are merely spins, the current challenges will persist and may take an uglier form in the future. With each passing day, the current level of uncertainty will increase the odds against the present government to win future elections.
The party needs to look at problems with fresh perspectives or bring in someone who can do the job. It needs a navigator (a Saarthi) who can visualize future scenarios, build back-up plans and execute them accordingly. Since our country is facing a war-like scenario from internal & external enemies, a saarthi like Dr Swamy could turn adversity into opportunity. Apart from an eminent economist and lawyer, Dr Swamy's views as a geo-strategist will provide India an edge over other nations. Any delay or confusion in this regard will backfire and dent our country's image in Global arena. Recent case of Italian Marines is a reflection of the current mess that unnecessarily lowers India's dignity.
A sharp turnaround isn't impossible if the government seeks solutions with an honest and humble mind, however, staying aloof will magnify existing problems.
