A Leader leads from front

A team always follows what their leader does. A perfect paradigm of how a Prime Minister should coach his fellow party members on how to conduct in public forums and social media.

Below are excerpts of Modi’s political campaign on eve of Bihar elections.

·         Something wrong in Nitish's political DNA: Modi at Muzaffarpur rally - 27th July

·         Taking a dig at Lalu's bid to promote his family members by first trying to "set bechari beti (helpless daughter)" in the Lok Sabha polls and now "yuvraj (his sons)" in the Assembly elections.

Below are the remarks of his fellow party members on various occasions during recent times.

·         Controversial Bharatiya Janata Party MP Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday compared Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan with Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of Mumbai carnage on 4th Nov'15 resulting on a nationwide protest by various people resulting in Adityanath withdrawing his tweet.

·         Earlier on the same day, Sadhvi Prachi, infamous for her inflammatory statements, said, Shah Rukh Khan is an agent of neighbouring country Pakistan as he reflects their (Pakistan’s) ideology. Such a man should go to Pakistan.”

·         Sometime back Controversial BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj on Sunday declared the Ram temple at Ayodhya will be built under the Centre's BJP government.

·         Once on the occasion of Sant Samaagam Mahotsava in Meerut, Sakshi Maharaj had said the concept of four wives and 40 children will not work in India and added that the time has come when a Hindu woman must produce at least four children in order to protect Hindu religion.

·         Sakshi Maharaj had earlier described Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse as a 'patriot'.

·         On October 18^th, BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj for death to those who slaughter cows.

·         Soon after the lynching incident took place, BJP leader and a former MLA Nawab Singh Nagar said “if anybody was consuming cow meat then that is wrong”. He further seemed to have justified that act saying that it was the 'excitement of kids' that led to the attack due to the nationwide movement against cow slaughter. Two days later to the incident, another local BJP leader Vichitra Tomar pops up with a statement saying "The police have arrested innocent people. We also demand legal action against those people, who are engaged in cow slaughter as it is hurting Hindu sentiments."

·         During a meeting in Amroha on December 21’2014, Sanjeev Balyan had allegedly termed Azam Khan as a terrorist.

·         Twenty four hours after saying Muslims can live in India but they must stop eating beef, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar was forced into such a tough corner by the Opposition backlash, he offered his "regrets", as the Centre sidestepped the issue. The controversy erupted after Khattar was quoted by The Indian Express on Friday as saying that "Muslims can continue to live in this country, but they will have to give up eating beef as the cow is an article of faith here".

·         State for Culture and Tourism Mahesh Sharma said that the Bible and Quran were not part of the soul of India.

More than his works, Modi is slowly becoming famous for the cuss words he is taking out in public forums. Unless he stops here and learns his lessons from Bihar results, he would soon have to eat his words just like Kejriwal did.
