I have taken only observed events as examples as they do not need a proof: The given events have been experienced by people living here in India.
I thought it was my duty as an observant citizen to write this article, as this election 2019 is not like any other and would decide the future of this great Nation of ours in more significant ways than any other election to-date.

| 1.0 |
Mission |
To get power and become PM
To preserve dynastic rule
To divide and ruleand preserve proven-to-date vote bank politics
Forget people once elected. |
Govt. is meant to serve people: PM is Pradhan Sevak. Focus on people of India,irrespective of caste,creed and religion.
Take feedback periodically from relevant people and act on them. |
| 2.0 |
Weakening institutions that are pillars of Democracy |
|
|
| 2.1 |
Courts including Supreme court-done |
Declaration of Emergency-Not because of external aggression
or danger to security of the Nation but because of insecurity to the PM’s
chair. Declared on 25-06-1975 and Indira Gandhi was to be overthrown by Allahabad High court on 26-06-1975. |
Has not
this -not till |
| 2.2 |
Overlooking several senior judges appointing chief justice of India out of turn |
Mrs. Indira Gandhi’s call for committed Judiciary
Made a mockery of the independence of judiciary. |
Never did this even with a judge who gave an unfavor able decision to Govt. |
| 2.3: |
Move to impeach the chief justice |
Move to impeach the chief justice Of India only because he did not agree to Congress’s views on an issue. |
Stood solidly against such a move. |
| 2.4 |
Other Institutions |
CBI and EC openly threatened with what would happen if they come to power. Armed forces suspected.
T N Seshan punished because under him EC asserted itself. |
Institutions given freedom to think and act with full empowerment. |
| 3.0 |
Parliaments |
|
|
| 3.1 |
Attitude. |
Nice place for photo op and where you can stall the progress of the Nation by blocking any attempt towards progress.
Particularly take up non-issues to to the people and make them issues to stall Parliament resulting in enormous and avoidable waste of the scarce public money. |
A temple and before entering first do namaskar.
Talk to the point purposefully and forcefully, respect time spent. |
| 3.2 |
Criticism |
Focus on individuals: Personally attack and insult them to counter any point.
PM must always attend Parliament even if a frivolous issue is being discussed, particularly if specific individuals from opposition are making a point or talking total ‘earth -quake creating’ non-sense. |
No personal attacks except to reply such attacks and at election meetings.
Improve utilization of these costly institutions PM need not attend Parliament always since the minister concerned is capable and empowered. |
| 4.0 |
The Opposition party. |
|
|
| 4.1 |
Role of opposition: |
Follow Oppose for opposing sake as a policy even if the Govt. says or does something in the interest of the Nation and its people. The Govt.should obey implicitly what the opposition says. |
Make your point on the issue being expect the Govt. to let the ruling party and not the opposition. |
| 4.2 |
What to do with a performing ruling party: |
Dub all the ruling party’s achievement for the country and its people as false claims in spite of visible and ample proof.
Believe external enemies of the Nation and do not trust the elected Govt. -elected by the people, thus humiliating and fooling them. Deny everything that the Govt. claims as its achievement as lies and propagate them as false and empty claims.Prevent even the central assistance for the poor by not complying with the reqd.procedure in states where congress/UPA is in power. |
Question Govt’s claim claim but with decorum.Let the Govt. run. Do not obstruct its functioning and prevent the poor from getting the benefits in states where NDA is in power. |
| 4.3 |
What to do when the ‘direct and command’ to toe the very unreasonable stand taken on certain key issues by the higher ups in the party. |
Become totally autocratic within own party and even if people in the party are leaving after serving the party for decades, belittle them. |
Hardly ever sack anyone for dis- agreeing with the top. Do not obstruct some individuals if they want to leave. |
| 4.4 |
Preach love and actually hate a few individuals from the bottom of your heart. |
The ruling party, nay a few individuals in it have to be hated in reality, even though you have to pose as though you love them as a matter of policy.
Call even the PM Chaiwala, choukidar, terrorist, Hitler, dictator, etc. Simply
level charges without giving any basis, propagate it even by tipping the media, make the people believe what you are saying, and if some don’t, threaten them telling them how you would take care of them when you come back to power. |
No going below a even decent level when criticizing individuals, except in self – defense
Use the negative street level jibes as tools in election propaganda. |
| 4.5 |
Embrace external and internal enemies of the Nation if it suits your vote-bank politics |
Never mind trusting and siding with even Pak and China to belittle people in the ruling Party |
Nation and its people first policy, then only even the party, leave alone individuals,however high they may be in the party hierarchy. |
| 4.6 |
Fool people by repeating charges and accusations though you can’t quote a single specific instance for substantiating them. |
Never mind fooling people even telling blatant lies albeit it is proven so by courts including supreme court, keep repeating them just to get votes by fooling people, whom you are genuinely supposed to serve. This is similar to taking customers for a ride in any business just to make a quick buck. |
Listen to people continuously even during the 5 year term though you enjoy majority. Have guts to amend your own decisions based on feedback from people,govern by being a people-responsive govt. |
| 4.7 |
Social fablric:
seculiarism and plurality of India. |
We have to put the majority community below to be proved we are secular and are plural. |
Religion, caste, creed, language could be different but we are one India, truly secular and plural and have lived in peace for generations and can live so in future too. |
| 4.8 |
Corruption |
When action is taken against huge corruption affecting any of the opposition members, who have been doing it with ease earlier, shout it is political vindictiveness and try and get out of the problem. If action is not taken make a hue and cry. |
Corrupt has to be punished irrespective of party and political affiliations. |
| 5.0 |
The free press- the Fourth estate. Attitude: |
|
|
| 5.1 |
Perception |
This is one more institution to be Stage-managed, particularly during election times. Of course we have Funds, so no problem. This is nice place for photo ops. |
Press is to be left alone unless warranted.
No management at all. The Govt. not to incenti vising it or running to it frequently. |
| 5.2 |
Maintaining contact |
No need to go to people and talk to them except during election times. Instead stage manage the press. After all they are in business and want to make money too. Promise once a month interview: but how can a PM have time to talk ordinary people? So just do not do it. |
It is critical to keep talking to people regularly- be it implementing massive changes like GST or share your thoughts with them.
It is not enough listening to them but act on their grievances and problems. Anything can be missed PM but not talking to people of the Nation once a month. |
| 5.3 |
Press being biased: |
Punish them by stopping Revenues. |
Yes, it is a tragedy but Is doing its job and they will themselves face the consequences of what they are doing from the the system they too are serving: the people. |
