You know what they say about living in glass houses…
What makes Mr Narendra Modi a very popular leader is nothing but his extra-ordinarily impressive talent of oration. He never lets his audience see here and there; every individual feels that Modi is talking directly to him. Mr Modi knows well what to say and when to say it. Though for Pakistan and the people of Pakistan Mr Modi is a disastrous symbol of hatred and enmity, for his own people, he is simply a god-father, always found very caring and very considerate for his people.
His political rivals say that all his actions and all his words have some hidden political motives. They blame him of being selfish and self-centered but it is also a reality that Mr Modi has a vast following. This all is simply because he knows how to touch the hearts of his people with his words.
His recent speech during an election meeting in Jaunpur on 3rd of this March also proved him a ‘Magician of Words.’ The speech was all about a Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Gayatri Prajapati who is allegedly involved in a rape case. According to the media details, a look-out notice has been issued against this culprit, his passport has been confiscated and that the police are searching for him but the Samajwadi Party and the Congress are all doing their best to save him from the grip of law. Mr Modi very bluntly, openly and boldly condemned and criticised the behaviour of Gayatri Prajapati, the Uttar Pradesh Minister. In his address to the people of Jaunpur, Mr Modi said: “A daughter is seeking justice and the Chief Minister is shielding the gunehgaar (guilty)… what bigger blot can there be than this that in Uttar Pradesh when a buffalo goes missing, the government runs to find it. But, a girl is crying for justice and the police and chief minister are sleeping… such a government needs to be punished.’
Unfortunately when Mr Modi – the ‘ Magician of Words’ – was condemning his political opponent Samajwadi Party and the Congress, an FIR was being registered in Gujrat’s Kutch district against four BJP leaders for their alleged involvement in the rape of a 24 year old woman. According to the details the woman was allegedly gang-raped by ten people – including four local BJP leaders. The woman was allegedly forced into prostitution by the accused, who also blackmailed her after filming the rape. The victim named ten people in the First Information Report (FIR). She also alleged that the accused lured many other girls and women into prostitution and exploited them sexually after promising them jobs in Naliya town of Kutch district.
For the BJP leaders, such allegations of involvement in rape cases are not new.
In February, a former Delhi BJP, MLA Vijay Jolly, was also booked for rape after a woman alleged that he had drugged and assaulted her. The woman – a resident of South Delhi – told police that that she was drugged and sexually assaulted in Gurugram earlier that month when she visited it with Jolly. According to a report published in the Mid-Day, the woman said she had known Jolly for about three years and that the incident had happened on 10th February.
Jolly had been BJP’s MLA from Saket in 2003-08.
In another, similar case, the Delhi Police filed an FIR against BJP leader Harak Singh Rawat on 30th July 2016 after a woman accused the former minister of raping her. Police have launched an investigation into the complaint.
On 22nd June 2016, the Indian Express published a very detailed report on BJP leader, Jayesh Patel, who was allegedly involved in the rape of a nursing student of Parul University in Vadodara. 66 year old Jayesh Patel is the founder-president of this privately owned university. The complainant accused Bhavna Patel (the rector of the women’s hostel of that university) of abetting the crime. The local police registered a case against both the BJP leader and Bhavna Patel, who were absconding that time. In the FIR, the victim stated that Jayesh had raped her one night at his residence near the women’s hostel. She said that Bhavna took her to Jayesh’s house where Jayesh threatened to rusticate and fail her if she revealed the alleged crime.
Fortunately – or, unfortunately – Mr. Modi is the leader of all such criminals.
Rape is not the only crime in which the BJP leaders are allegedly involved; there are so many others also. A report published in the Hindustan Time says that twenty-four of the 78 Union ministers of the Narendra Modi cabinet have criminal cases registered against them. The report further reveals that 14 of these ministers are involved in serious criminal cases related to murder, attempt to murder, kidnapping and crimes against women. This pathetic situation demands serious attention from the magician of the words, Narendra Modi.
