Although ‘Leadership’ has been defined many ways
but the simplest one is : “Leadership is
a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task ’.
Fiedler contingency model
given by Fred Feidler defines two types of leader : those who tend to accomplish the task by developing good
relationships with the group (relationship-oriented), and those who have as
their prime concern carrying out the task itself (task-oriented). Narendra Modi
falls in the latter category. A man who believes in India first & whose
single point agenda is development and has Arjuna like focus – the ability to
block out all distraction & the determination to achieve his goals.
Why I
have immense faith in the Leadership of Shri Narendra Modi ?
- · Leadership is all about taking bold & prudent decisions keeping in mind the long term goals of the Nation/organisation. It is certainly not about playing the victim card like Arvind Kejriwal & Rahul Gandhi in order to garner sympathy votes. Modi always talks about his work & not about his Grandmother/Father like the Gandhi scion. He wants to be judged purely on the basis of his work & not on the basis of his lineage.
- · Narendra Modi has been the victim of the longest running defamation campaign in India’s political history . Despite hate-mongering by the media, Modi continues to attract people because of his development agenda. Narendra Modi despite being hounded by hostile Media for so many years never threatened to send media people to Jail like the very ‘special’ Aam Aadmi Arvind Kejriwal . And no need to mention the emergency era under congress where all civic liberties were curbed.
- · Modi has single-handedly changed the political discourse of India from Caste/Secularism to Development (the manifestoes of all political parties for Gujarat elections are a testimony to this fact ) .This is a major paradigm shift from the Nehruvian/socialist/leftist stance thrust upon the nation since Independence. Instead of voting the caste people will cast their vote based on performance & track record .
- · Like a true leader, Narendra Modi has the ability to take decisions with certain ruthlessness necessary for beating down vested interests without submitting to any act of dissent. He has the ability to revive the fortunes of BJP by cutting down the dead wood without giving much importance to the tantrums of sulking old guard.
- · He doesn’t believe in tokenism like praising Jinnah , wearing skull cap or splashing his pictures of Iftar party unlike many ‘Sickulars’ to prove his secular credentials or doling out extra ordinary appeasement to garner votes . He does not believe in politics of communal appeasement & has focussed only on mass prosperity and equality . This is a paradigm shift from the pre-dominant politics of keeping India fractured on communal lines.
- · Narendra Modi has a single point agenda – Development for all & appeasement of none. Free laptops & other freebies do not fall under his scheme of things . He believes in liberal policies, economic freedom, creating job opportunities as a means to achieve mass prosperity .
- · Narendra Modi has a tough stand on National security. He can single-handedly tackle the sinister forces who with their nefarious designs have tried to challenge the sovereignty of India time and again. We have paid the price of having a weak govt. at the centre. When asked to crawl he does not even bend and such leader can surely protect the interests of our Nation.
The
above factors convey only one thing – Narendra
Modi is the only alternative .
