Arun Shouri's loquacity targets Modi again

In any political rivalry, either you  make your opponent to keep quiet by  bonhomie  or kill them with invective words. Arun Shourie is acting on the second theory knowing well that Modi will remain nonchalant. The erudition of Shourie is a fact. The people are aware that he is one of the well acclaimed journalists, but by criticizing Modi what advantage he wants to bring in, nobody knows. Very recently, he says that our PM is acting more like a section officer of a homeopathy department and less as a Prime Minister, which is an intolerable statement. Through his volubility, he even cautioned Modi  not to act like a  head of a department. Had this insolent comment come from Manmohan Singh, people would have somehow digested, but no sensible person who is  politically motivated can bear the brunt of this statement.

In the recent days, Shourie has lashed out at the NDA government and the PM.  His objections starting from their failure to curb violence to the controversy over beef.  He named this government as “Congress plus a cow.” Many people are fully aware that why Shourie is so upset?  The  reason that he was not offered a post in the ministry and since then, he started to find out  loopholes of this government. Shourie even accused Modi that he is deliberately keeping quiet on a very sensitive issue like the Dadri lynching whereas his ministerial colleagues and BJP’s  other top ranking functionaries are keeping this alive just to win the ensuing election at Bihar.  

Further, Shourie’s deleterious comment that Modi in conjunction with Amit Shah is creating another community wrangling in Bihar is incorrect. Arun Shouri cited a Pakistani analyst’s comment to support his statement, which says that the neighboring countries when try to get out of the pit, India is slowly going down. It is true that India’s law and order situation are in a bit ruinous condition in some places, but on the whole, it is far better than Pakistan and other neighboring countries.

Apart from Modi, Shourie attacked Jaitley because of his blank support for the PM.  As per Shourie, he is one of the persons, tolerating all types of idiosyncrasies, since last ten years.

Shourie also supported the writers, artists and academicians for their returning the awards back.  He justified their actions, saying how these celebrities can adjust with this climate of “intolerance”. He supported these intellectuals as  they are the  knowledge torch bearers of the society and are conscious keepers.  Shourie praised the eminent scientists P.M. Bhargava and Infosys’s founder Murthy for their vehement protest against government’s inefficiency to curb the organized crime and atrocities. The former minister expressed his unhappiness for Jaitley’s comment for these dignitaries as “rabid anti-BJP”. 

The fact remains that today Shourie is screaming from the rooftop and showing his displeasure, but what significant contribution he made when he was a minister?  It is very easy and may be a fundamental right for citizens to criticize, but let it be a constructive one. Just by saying, Modi is communal, instigating the communal factors to win the elections, not mentioning anything on Dadri incident or stampede in Mecca, India’s overall progress will not get zapped immediately. At least, Modi is trying; he is showing his zeal to recover the fragile economy as well as making schemes for social upliftment.  What Arun Shourie had done, can anybody explain? To be  an erudite person is one thing; but doing something politically, socially and on economic front is another thing.
