For anyone to become a dictator in India is impossible

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal says that if the BJP formed the next government at the Centre, Narendra Modi would remain Prime Minister forever as there would not be any election after the 2019 poll. He alleged that the Modi government was following “Hitler’s tactics”. The Chief Minister made the claim referring to the recent incident involving a “brutal” attack on the members of Muslim family in Gurgaon.  

Is it Kejriwal’s prejudices and hatred for the BJP ruled NDA government that is speaking? India is delivered the best governance by the BJP ruled NDA governance in the last five years and is expected to achieve many more reforms resulting in improvements in all the sectors in the near future. Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party at the end fell into the feet of Congress. How to believe his party AAP in such scenario?

There are many gaps in current NDA governance but not as much there were with Congress. What about those who think that being Prime Minister is their birth right and central government is their family matter? Is that not dictatorial way of thinking?

Personal political ambitions, to get into the highest positions of power and creating, ensuring fiefdoms of electoral following are becoming most important. There is need to ensure Democracy, Rule Of Law and Secularism and putting an end to a single family’s hegemony. Public as well as contending politicians have to recognise this urgent task as well as growing lapse; default situation should not arise; fears about impending dictatorship and annulling the values and basic features of the Constitution have been noticed but not being really acted upon. Middle classes are carried away by rhetoric anti-Corruption slogans. They are short sighted and want corruption free society to augment their incomes and rent yielding property and interest incomes; and never understand or bother about growing hatred vengeance and violence.

Kejriwal should know that the family in question was holding the nation as hostage. During the last 4-5 years, large number of  high profile  leaders of AAP went away from Kejriwal, and almost everybody claimed that the prime reason for their resignation was the  Autocracy exhibited by AAP leader Kejriwal. Today AAP do not have any support and even existence of such a party has been forgotten in other states. From tall 400 claims in 2014 to just 4 in 2019 and he claims that Modi is Autocratic and Dictator.

lndira Gandhi desperately tried to be a dictator during the 1970s. Attempts were made in the past to rule India in dictatorial fashion like Chinese leadership who crush freedom of speech & action. But India is not China and does not provide scope to anyone who has dictatorial ambitions.
