Modi Paid Tribute to Mangal Pandey : Hero of First War of Independence, 1857
Varanasi May 10. It can not be a mere coincidence. Election campaign came to an end on May 10, anniversary of First War of Independence, the day written in Indian history in golden letters about the valour and sacrifices of Indian people to throw away foreign yoke.
And also it can not be mere coincidence that all the three actors of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections are in Varanasi , the place where Mother Goddess incarnate Rani Lakshmibai was born. Birthplace of Rani of Jhansi is in Assi locality of the holy city. Modi, Rahul and Kejriwal, all three represent spirit of immortal India in their own way, though in the heat of election campaign they appear hostile rivals. The urge of change is in the air and voters would decide who among these three better serves their desire of change.
For Modi it is time to relax. In his last election rally in Ballia, the land of revolution, he paid tribute to Mangal Pnadey who heralded, the 1857 liberation war. Ballia was also maternal home of Veer Kunwar Singh, the legendary fighter of 1857, who defeated British army in many battles.
Modi reminded people his Bharat Bhraman, From Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Dwarka to Itanagar. Hundreds and thousands of election rallies he addressed. He emerged as a Yoddha, a war veteran, of 2014 democratic battle. His war was just or unjust, it is for the people of India to decide, but one must acknowledge his courage, commitment and labour. Rahul and Kejriwal also played important part in setting the political agenda of the elections.
There is a sense of apprehension in political environment as Modi put it- May 16 Ke Baad Kya Hoga? ( what will happen after May 16 ) Would it be a decisive mandate in favour of a leader and an alliance or a fractured mandate ? Would the politics of vendetta, character assassination and destabilization plague the country. It is the last thing countrymen want. The Spirit of 1857 shall inspire us to overcome differences and work together for a better India. Only 125 crore people can bring Achhe Din not an individual or a party or an alliance.
