Is it true that Modi is attacked for being "Desi" (not of privileged class)

A newspaper headline goes like this,"Modi is not privileged class, thus faces attacks: Chetan Bhagat".

If he (Mr Bhagat) has actually said what the newspaper website says he has said, then it may be a point worth considering. I wish to thank Mr Chetan Bhagat for speaking out what was in my mind for some time. Actually, I have mentioned this in few of my previous posts here in this blog itself.

Times Group too deserves praise for publishing the article and for baring the truth. It has been seen time and again that similiar or worse incidents have happened under the previous regimes and keep happening in opposition ruled states but somehow the blame is invariably and so incorrectly being directed at NaMo & BJP. Somehow, the idea of manufactured dissent raised by BJP seems to be so much true / genuine. Somehow, it will still make sense if one declines to accept an award but the very idea of dismissing an accepted award and honour earned by virtue of hard work makes no sense.
  

It has been a notable aspect of elections of 2014 that BJP fought and won under the leadership of someone who is essentially not a career politician. Mr Namrendra Modi had never been in the mainstream politics and never even contested an election before being anointed as Chief Minister of Gujarat in Oct 2001. Thus, it was people's wish that BJP rules the country for the next five years. 

Besides, to me it holds much higher significance that BJP fought and won this election under the leadership of an ordinary person, that is someone who is son of poor parents, who used to earn their livelihood through a hard days toil. His parents were no royals, no feudal landlords, no industrialists, no traders, no contractors, not even local advocates or even influential Sarpanch of the area. 

For the first time, people had a candidate who genuinely gave his entire life to social work and this enthused the  people. Besides, it is also seen that having no offspring of his own, he did not have the burden of securing the future of his heirs. This is seen as a really big plus point in our political scene.

Besides, in my view, what appealed to the youth was his unbelievably good health, high level of motivation and dynamism unseen till now, his ease with the computers, technology and the gadgets. His team came up with innovative uses of technology to reach out to maximum numbers of voters.

And then, in the end, it is his ease with words, that makes him a unique inspiring leader of masses. Fact is that he is communicator par excellence and even his detractors are forced to acknowledge this.

Hence, the opposition parties and the intelligentsia should refrain from too much criticism, or else, the critics of this regime will sooner or later loose credibility and it will turn out to be like the story of the shepherd boy and the wolf. Constructive criticism is fine but too much carping is not justifiable.
