“A positive mindset leads to positive results,” he sermonised, ignoring the fact that for six days beginning April, India set new global records, repeatedly surpassing the 3,00,000 tally previously set by the US. “Is there no value to our lives?”įor the Prime Minister, the art of speech making was the solution to the pandemic as it has been to all national problems. “At least give us masks and gloves,” he said. A community health worker in Azamgarh, UP showed how pathetic the situation had become. In practice, health workers were handicapped because they did not even get basic supplies. He was shamed into withdrawing his words the next day. The Government’s Scientific Advisor warned that a Covid third wave was inevitable.
Not one came up in reality, even after the Prime Minister’s photograph appeared on the postcards it sent out. Launched in 2018, Ayushman Bharat had big plans including new hospitals in 2- and 3-tier cities. The Government was eventually forced to intervene and stop the glorification.
Owners explained that this was to “glorify their identities”. Car number plates appeared in that state with prefix indicating not the state (such as UP, as in KA for Karnataka) but the caste of the owner, such as Jat, Thakur, Brahman. It wasn’t long ago that UP showed the extremes to which its power-drunk politicians could go. This kind of ego-boosting politics can lead to spectacles that shame the whole nation. Priyanka’s question was accompanied by another question: Why was the Prime Minister’s photograph on the Covid-19 vaccination certificate, an initiative described by a Punjab Minister (Congress) as a “move smacking of an obsessive self-projection” and by a West Bengal MP (Trinamool) as “condemnable”? While the Shiv Sena tried to justify the photo campaign, public opinion seemed to be with an NCP minister of Maharashtra who said “It is absolutely wrong to have political personalities on a vaccination certificate.” As Priyanka Gandhi asked: “Why is India, the world’s largest vaccine producer, today in a position that it has to ask for vaccines from other countries?” When ego dominates the scene, no such questions come up. While a process began to give vaccination to about 60 crore people in the 18-44 age group, orders were placed only for 28 crore vaccine doses which could vaccinate only 14 crore people. Ryan Holiday’s book ‘Ego Is The Enemy’ has no place in this universe.Īttention to personal publicity deprived the vaccination campaign of its primary focus: vaccination for all. Here, ego is out and assertive and unstoppable. Nevertheless, Ayushman Bharat postcards carried his photograph. His attempt to put his picture and signature on railway tickets had to be given up because of the shock it created among the people.
He has made no attempt to hide his two ambitions: one, to put his personal stamp on anything and everything and two, to stay in power long, achieving things others have not. The Hindu Hriday Samrat seems more secure in his seat than any of his predecessors, not excluding Jawaharlal Nehru. As senior advocate in Delhi, Rajiv Nayar put it, there have been “unaccounted-for deaths, bodies mixed up in hospitals, mass cremations/burials - and the loss of hope.” But the show goes on unimpaired, unquestioned. Terrible things happen in his watch, but they do not affect him and he doesn’t really care. He never meets the press - the only prime minister in the world with that distinction - nonetheless he is all over the papers and television. #growtogetherĪmazon author page – Vijaya- Gowrisankar/e/B071CGBYHRįacebook page – Vijaya-Gowrisankar- 865437770243338/Ĭheck out my latest book Evolve on, Amazon.in, Amazon.All said and done, Narendra Modiji must be having a grand time.
