Narendra Modi is back in election mode as one can understand from the speech he gave at Bharuch on October 10, where he said that 'urban Naxals' are attempting to enter Gujarat by 'changing their appearance' and that they will be detected by the State and destroyed. These precisely are the provocative statements which encourage people lower down the ranks be it within political parties or other bodies to take law into their hands and commit atrocities. Such statements from the political leadership result as we saw lately at Bijapur in Karnataka where a mob forcibly entered a centuries old mosque and performed a puja within the premises. Saying this Modi is sowing the seeds of suspicion and as a result of which innocent, helpless and poor people will have to face public attacks. Actually such statements are made by Modi and his kind, with no semblance of formal or higher education, to incite the largely uneducated populace so that they blindly vote for the BJP out of fear and insecurity. Therefore, do we deserve Modi and such leadership? No. That is why it is time to bring about change.
