Goa is going to polls in 2022; Trinamool Congress Party (TMC) has taken a plunge into this political carnival. As a political outfit they have all the right under the Indian Constitution to broaden or widen their spectre.
Secondly they are riding high on a wave of
convincingly defeating the BJP in West Bengal twice. Once during the general
elections and second during the by-election of chief minister Mamta Banerjee.
But with TMC comes a different package or
baggage whatever one may call it. And it is India Political Action Committee.
In short I-PAC founded by Prashant Kishor.
Kishor informed the world he would quit the
group but I-PAC would remain after the victory of TMC in Kolkata is one facet.
That he convinced Luizinho Faleiro into joining Didi’s party is another aspect
which has to be viewed from the political prism.
In the Christian doctrine, the community
believes in a conjecture called ‘Original Sin’.
It is the condition or state of sin into
which each human being is born. In common parley it has been ascribed to the
sin of the first man, Adam, who disobeyed God in eating the forbidden fruit (of
knowledge of good and evil) and consequently transmitted his sin to his
descendants.
This doctrine has its basis in the Bible. Similarly
is the case of Prashant Kishor and his CAG (Citizens for Accountable
Governance).
CAG’s original sin was facilitating or pole-vaulting Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister of this
country. After Kishor fell out with prime minister, he disbanded or rather
re-christened CAG to I-PAC.
What followed subsequently is suffering and
death of common man, increasing communal divide, nose diving economic graph, sky
rocketing of fuel prices and wholesale self glorification cult to make Modi larger
than life.
In short Kishor created a monster. Now he is trying
to wipe his slate clean of his original sin. Hopefully in this quest he will
not create more monsters. We have already experienced Luizinho Faleiro’s ‘Salazar
rule’ in Goa as chief minister and would not like to be his subjects again.
Corporate manufactured mandates fabricated
with lies, smear and slander are not healthy for democracy as the citizens’ start
believing fallacy as truth since they are told with a straight face.
One such lie manufactured during Modi’s
campaign in 2013 was bringing in all the black money stashed away in foreign
countries and depositing Rs. 15 lakhs in each and every citizen’s account. Like
fools we are stilling awaiting it to happen.
I-PAC by default is part of these lies too as
it was strategizing BJP’s campaign.
Mamta Banerjee may have the grit, guts and
determination to take on the duo at the Centre. But it will not happen with the
career politicians in Goa and especially those roped in by TMC through I-PAC.
Goan career politicians have a lot of
skeletons in their closet which will surely spill out if they even try to
squeal against Prime Minister Modi and Home minister Amit Shah.
TMC ‘Man Friday’ Luizinho Faleiro could not
even take-on BJP government in Goa as he did not want to upset his applecart,
hence cannot be expected even to take digs at the powerful duo at the Centre. At
the most his strategy will be to only take pot-shots at the BJP as a party.
Besides Goa, six other states are going to polls in 2022, UP, Manipur, Punjab, Uttarakhand and later in the year Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh. Why is TMC and I-PAC not strategizing contests in other states, why only Goa is a question mark.
Because I-PAC comes at a huge cost and
political parties are not willing to dish-out astronomous amounts.
Prashant Kishor surely understands that
creating a cult costs piles of cash, destroying it takes even more. Hence for that reason
citizens of this country will have to bear with the consequences of the ‘Original
Sin’ of I-PAC Prashant Kishor’s ‘Frankenstein Monster.’
