On 30 May, my friend Mr. Prabodh Ranjan shared a post in his Facebook ID that: “Dear, Mamata Didi …now election is over..Please come out of your trauma… You must accept the decision of people of Bharat…” In this context, I commented in his above mentioned post that: “Respected Prabodh Ranjan Sahab;you like it or not, it is not a victory of democracy in India. The general elections in India can be likened to presidential elections. Indian voters have rejected peace, prosperity and the marginalized. They have embraced fascism, cow, war, anti-Muslim rhetoric, militaristic and muscular Kashmir policies,and anti-Pakistan rhetoric.” In this regard, my another friend Mr. Priyananda M. Sharma replied to my comment like this : “Are you not satisfied with people’s mandate?”. To answer this question I had replied that why I am disagreeing with the so-called peoples mandate. Below mentioned are the reasons;
It is my democratic right to disagree with the people’s mandate. As I already mentioned that Indian voters have rejected peace, prosperity and the marginalized. They have embraced fascism, cow, war, anti-Muslim rhetoric, militaristic and muscular policies in Kashmir ,and anti-Pakistan rhetoric.
The Guardian newspaper mentioned that “Five more years of Narendra Modi will take India to darkness”
Time Magazine mentioned that Modi TukkdeTukde Gang ka Mastermind.
BBC News said that “As India goes to the polls, some fear that a second BJP term could bring this country closer to a majoritarian state.”
The Dawn Newspaper points out that “Unsurprisingly, the prospect of Modi’s return is most distressing for India’s minorities.”
Furthermore, The Hindu Newspaper reports that “43% newly-elected Lok Sabha MPs have criminal record.” and many more things.
