Narendra Modi a rallying point for all NGOs:
Maha Kumbh of NGOs in God's Own Constituency
Varanasi May 5 . Indian NGOs are strange entities, just like Indian caste system. Every caste resist the 'upper' one and tries to subdue 'lower' one . There is most backwards among backwards and maha dalits among dalits. The rallying point of their activism is unjust caste system and remedy of all injustices is reservations in the government jobs.
In these days the holy city is witnessing Maha Kumbh of NGOs as hundreds of volunteers engaged in social work in different parts of the country are camping here to ensure defeat of Narendra Modi. And they say, Modi should and can be defeated in this Hidutva bastion.Their confidence is all apparent and they claim that tide is slowly but surely, turning against Modi.
They are all united against Modi but differ on who to support. AAP leader Arvind kejriwal has potential to emerge main challenger to Modi but all NGOs are not ready to support him. On Sunday, Kabir Math was the venue where all NGOs gathered to chalk out their strategy. Concerned citizens belonging to different ideologies- Ghandhians, liberals, secularists, left, ultra left, post modern left ( sorry if some one still left) expressed their willingness to work together to ensure defeat of Modi.
The gathering was under the the banner "legacy of Kabir" and participants were encouraged by the response of the local people. But whom to support against Modi. everybody has his or her own idea. Enemy is clear but challenger is still unknown.
Had it not been for Modi, these NGOs might be fighting among themselves. And on the issue of supporting Kejriwal, mainstream Communist Party comrades are very reluctant. The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has fielded a candidate in the elections and not ready to withdraw it. For some comrades Kejriwal is a Ford Foundation funded agent provocateur if not saboteur.
