New Delhi, Dec 3: It’s a mandate for “Modi Guarantee” and “Double Engine”, said Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh while summing up his response to election results of four States in a series of media interviews to various news channels at the BJP National Headquarters here on Sunday.
Dr Jitendra said people have authenticated their trust in what Modi says because it has been proven time and again with evidence that Modi has the capacity to “walk the talk”.
As for the “Double Engine Sarkar” is concerned, Dr Singh recalled that during the election campaign, many critics took this impression with a pinch of salt but he had repeatedly reiterated even at that time that the common man understands the essence of this impression.
“For example, in Rajasthan, the common man did not say this in mincing words but in heart, he could sense that he was not getting the benefits of Modi’s welfare schemes to the same extent as was being received by the people in the neighbouring States like Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. Misuse of funds and lack of accountability to the Centre has taken their toll in both Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh and particularly the young voters could realise this,” he said.
About Telangana, the union minister said Congress victory is “by default” because it has benefited from the negative vote against BRS. However, for BJP, he said, it is a qualitative vote because BJP has succeeded in enlarging its ideological base despite all the contradictions.
Another important factor emerging from the election results one after the other is that Modi has sought to introduce a new political culture in this country which, unlike in the past, is above caste, creed and vote bank consideration, he said. “For example, the benefits of welfare schemes like Ujjawala and PM Awas Yozna went to those who needed them regardless of their political and religious kneeling. In addition, Modi has sought to address those sections of society which were hitherto neglected by the earlier governments. The example of which is PM Swanidhi Yojna for street vendors and Vishwakarma Yojna for traditional artisans,” he said.
About who would be the chief minister in the three States won by BJP, Dr Jitendra said, “This question is asked because the mindset is conditioned by half a century of Congress rule where the preferences are dynasty driven and decisions are taken on the dining table. In BJP, on the other hand, there is a convention and a system in place where decisions are taken with the consensus of all and then unanimously accepted by all.”
