doublemaster ...I think you have raised some of the valid points....and so do every one with their respective party affiliation will have similar kind of justification and reasons to follow....So the bottom line is that our political system is politically corrupt....
So when someone says that someone is good or bad...that should not be perceived in absolute sense rather than comparative sense....The fact is that you can present so many facts and reasons, but if Modi has not some good work then i think in this age of communication, people will not brought him to power for 3rd consecutive term....That signifies that at least people of Gujurat are getting what they want....This should not be any subject of doubt..
But again, so called secularist will point finger like so what there are so many other CM like Modi too...Like Shivraj Chauhan, Raman Singh, Naveen Pattanaik, Nitish Kumar,Tarun Gogoi and of course Congress party face saver Sheila Dixit....
But the difference of Modi from others is that Modi has a political influence that is Pan Indian or you can say in otherwords, Modi has projected himself as a PAN Indian leader where none of the other leaders even dare to go out of their comfort zone....
If see the trend, now people in general are ready to accept leader who is successful and who can fulfil aspiration of people....rather than just making execuse of everything....This is a factor in which Modi leads the show than other leaders of todays political spectrum..
So basically my point is that the support of Modi is due to multiple factors
1- Leader who can aspire and think big
2- Leader who at least can give us a dream and proven track record of sucessfull leadership.
3- Nationalistic appeal...I think at the present set of politician he is perceived to the only leader who is fiercly patriotic and nationalistic...I know that you will context my statemnet, but the issue is that as long as some one else with equal calibre wrt Modi does not come up, he will remain in high position in the mind of the people
4- People are devoid of any choice to choose any leader after being fed up from Congress...And believe me, the this category of people are more in terms of % population who are supporting Modi...If Congress can at least project a leader like Nitish or Shivraj Chauhan then may be this section of people might have gone for Congress rather than Modi....
So ultimately, it is the comparative perception that holds the key...Because every one who is posting here is completely aware that in Indian dirty politics no one is saint...But at least we can choose who is better among st the worst....
