Spontaneity emerges from the
heart. Modi’s address at the BJP National Council reinforces this feeling for
what a contrast it was from the prime ministerial addresses of yesteryears as
well as more recent times. A stony faced parroting of written down text can never
compete with words of wisdom and deep understanding emanating straight from the
heart.
The confidence, grace, resolve,
commitment and poise that the prime minister of India displayed made me proud –
proud of the nation I live in and perhaps for the first time in my life proud
of the chief executive of the nation. A chief executive whose only concern is
that for the nation as opposed to many others who occupied the high chair only
to fulfill their own ambition of going down in the annals of history as those
who also ran.
Modi’s concern for the common man
and the poor was more than visible during the address. His call to the party to
adopt and pursue one social issue every year came out as an example of an out
of box thinking inspired by genuine concern for the society. His call for conserving
energy displayed his practical approach and also his ground connect. His open declaration that in times to come India's writ would prevail in the international scenario adds to the stature of every aam aadmi of the country. That his
approach to the nation’s foreign policy is based on national pride, not on
appeasement enhances our respect for ourselves.
The recent changes in the conduct
rules for government servants that lays stress on the need to maintain the
highest levels of ethical conduct, honesty and integrity besides giving
meritocracy its long overdue recognition is like music to the ears. These
changes are an avid display of the intent of the government to clean up the
much maligned bureaucratic tantra of the nation.
These are changing times in the
life of the nation. Yet all that is happening gives confidence that Modi's promise to propel the nation forward will indeed be
redeemed. For the first time one can feel the surging feeling of national pride
deep in our hearts.
Thank you Mr.Prime Minister for this wonderful feeling.
