I
have often thought of this. Is it solely due to 2002? My honest answer is NO. I
dislike him for a number of other reasons. Some are: - He is cheap and reduces
public discourse to vulgar standards; uses foul language, hits people below the
belt, plays to the basest instincts of the masses [I wonder how some define
this trait as 'political acumen'] Recall what cheap expressions he used for
Sonia, Priyanka.. - He is vengeful, unforgiving, revenge seeker [the rare instances
he showed magnanimity - like calling upon Keshubhai after defeating him, was
entirely for political reasons]. Haren Pandya's father died claiming that Modi was
behind his son's murder. Modi did not allow the late leader's statue. Not even
a staircase to clean it recently. - He lies blatantly, boldly, repeatedly. He
can shamelessly twist facts, distort sayings and data and paint an illusion perfectly
deceitfully. Consider how he fails to acknowledge Gujarat's failings, or how he
twisted Soniya's charge of 'maut ka saudagar' [for Sohrabuddin encounter] etc. -
He is disrespectful towards elders, ladies, the vulnerable - He is so full of
himself, self-centred, boastful, arrogant [his courtesies are sheer
hypocrisies] He spends considerable time, energy and money on his make-up, dress,
spectacles. Completely contrary to RSS image, Gandhi style. - He is ignorant;
lacks a sense of history, elementary understanding of our cosmos, clearly knows
so little about the world's two largest
communities: Christians and Muslims. Which is why he carries such a low opinion
about them, and has a jaundiced, chauvinist and an ignorant's perception of
them - He is uncultured and uncouth; not the kind I would like to engage in a
private conversation. You feel he is up to some crafty trick, and will use and
throw you - He is untrustworthy [look how he used and cast aside L K Advani,
the Hindutva, the RSS, Pravin Togadia] - He is opportunist [today for his Pr.
Ministerial aspirations he courts Muslim clergy. Yesterday he called them unworthy
of anything better than repairing puncture and doing petty jobs, and stealing
water and electricity..] Look how he invokes imagery of Vivekananda, Gandhi, Vajpayee
My dislike of the man is both subjective and objective. This is how I feel. And
I hope I am honest in my assessment. How do you feel about this man?
