In recent news, the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate, and the Chief Minister of Gujarat- Narendra Modi, has apparently saved '15,000 Gujaratis' from the flood affected areas of Uttarakhand.
Now, I have two basic issues with this so-called rescue. Firstly, I do not believe that he could have even logistically saved 15,000 'Gujaratis' within two days. According to news, Narendra Modi, had five IAS, one IPS, one IFS, and two GAS (Gujarat Administrative Service) officers. Two DSP's and five police inspectors have also been reported to have gone along. There were apparently 80 Innovas on standby, and 4 Boeings, to help the Gujaratis stranded in the flood affected zone. Let us, for a brief period of time, even try and believe that these figures are correct. But he must have some sense of judgement of nit picking Gujaratis from about a million people. 15,000 to be exact. And within 'TWO-THREE' days. It seems very interesting, but honestly, it defies common sense. This could well be a campaign, to promote his case, as well, "the elections are coming", to show to the citizens of this country, that during times of need, he is the 'man who takes things under direct control.' But doesn't a man, who is standing for the post of Prime Minister, need to be more national in his approach? Is his duty only restricted to save 'Gujaratis?' ( Even if we believe for about an iota of a second, that he did save anybody).
I think there is only one thing that can be said to such a comment, it is that even if you want to manipulate the thought process of the readers that you are targeting, at least make the news worth believing in.
