BJP puts out Message 2024: Modi on move, Modi must go on; Sonia-Rahul barbs fall by wayside

A video posted by party showcases the PM's journey as a climb up a stairway, paved with welfare schemes and Cong's failed attacks, “Maut ka Saudagar” to “Gautam Das”

The BJP underlines that Modi's boycott by countries like the US after the 2002 riots was a Congress “conspiracy” -- interesting at a time when the party is accusing Rahul of vilifying India's name abroad. Its attacks on Rahul Gandhi having taken the air out of the Opposition’s aggression – for now – here comes the BJP’s one-two punch.

A video unveiled by the party on Tuesday firmly imprints Narendra Modi as the pivot of the party and its campaign for a third term. The motif is the PM climbing up and up a stairway past the 2014 elections, past 2019, to a US $5-trillion economy (there’s no reference to 2024).

Along his way, he brushes aside all the Opposition (basically the Congress’s Sonia and Rahul) criticism. From Sonia’s “Maut ka Saudagar” and Mani Shankar Aiyar’s “chaiwallah” pre-2014, to Rahul’s “Chowkidar Chor Hai” and Rafale in 2019, to the BBC documentary and “Gautam Das” now — all bite the dust.

Modi marches forth bearing a trademark jhola, from which he pulls out his government’s welfare schemes — sometimes lifting trash with own hands (Swachh Bharat Abhiyan), another time putting a smile on a coughing old woman’s face (Ujjwala), breaking down at the plight of a suffering aged couple before placing in their outstretched hands wheat, rice and then a heap of placards (PM Awas Yojana, Jan Dhan, Bima Yojana etc etc), and later striking a hammer to spring water from the ground under Har Ghar Jal.

Then comes the Covid-19 crisis, where the PM is shown navigating a tightrope over a deep valley full of the spiky, treacherous coronavirus, balancing a big syringe with an indigenous vaccine, having said a firm no to the offer of foreign ones.

There is only the PM in the frame in this 10-year-plus journey. From the other side though, a series of people make an appearance. There is then US President Barack Obama, who stands by Sonia Gandhi as she brandishes “a rejected US visa” at Modi — only to rush with outstretched hands to present Modi an “Invitation to the USA”, after his 2014 win (which Modi marks by placing a tea kettle on the PM’s chair).
