In an interview given to news agency ANI on Wednesday evening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on the BJP's relationship with the Congress, the SP, and the BSP, as well as the electoral victory.
PM Modi said, "In the Bharatiya Janata Party, we have started winning elections only after losing and losing. We have seen many defeats. We have seen bails being forfeited. I was not in politics then. But once I saw that... At that time there used to be Jan Sangh. Maybe Deepak was the election symbol. I saw that somewhere they were distributing sweets, so we thought why they are distributing sweets, they all have lost. So told that sir, the bail of our three people So we are distributing sweets.
We are people from that era. And so we have seen both victory and defeat. When we are victorious, we endeavor to stay connected to the ground as much as possible. The deeper the bond with the land becomes. Let's make."
After this PM Modi said, "As far as defeat is concerned, we keep searching for hope even in defeat. We drowned in despair and did this, he did this, do this, do that - do such a thing... I do not fall.
We wonder what was the strategy of the front. What were his ways? Why did he succeed in misleading the people? How do we get our point across? We practice other teams and we practice ours too. We learn from every election. Whether the election is of victory or defeat.
Questions raised on the interview just before voting
Many questions are being raised on this interview of PM Modi, broadcast in primetime from Doordarshan to all TV channels, just hours before the February 10 polling for 58 seats in western Uttar Pradesh.
Those criticizing PM Modi are considering this election as a violation of the code of conduct. At the same time, BJP leaders and supporters are also defending this interview of PM Modi.
Senior journalist Swati Chaturvedi believes that this interview sounds like a monologue (long speech) of Modi.
Senior journalist Nikhil Wagle has called it a mess with the election code of conduct.
At the same time, senior journalist Umashankar Singh writes that "PM Modi used the word 'misguided' in his interview about the defeat of BJP that where we lose, we brainstorm why the front was successful in 'misleading'. Meaning 2017 The people of Punjab were 'misled' in me? This is a question on the understanding of the voters of India and a very undemocratic statement."
Former IAS officer Surya Pratap Singh termed this interview of PM Modi as a virtual rally.
During this entire interview, PM Modi targeted the opposition parties from Uttar Pradesh to Punjab.
But according to experts, it is interesting to see PM Modi trying to distance himself from the election in this interview.
During this interview, PM Modi said that he could not go to the election states like Uttar Pradesh or Punjab, etc. after the announcement of the polling program due to the limitations of the Election Commission.
Trying to avoid responsibility?
But while on the one hand PM Modi was seen distancing himself from this election, on the other hand, he was seen placing the responsibility of the coming election results on the shoulders of CM Yogi.
He gave the credit of all the schemes to Yogi Adityanath and his government. In such a situation, the question arises what is the meaning of such a statement coming just before the election.
The BBC spoke to senior journalist Ramdutt Tripathi, who has a deep understanding of national politics and the electoral politics of Uttar Pradesh.
Ramdutt Tripathi says, "PM Modi has said in this interview that BJP is going to win in all five states. There is a wave going on in UP. We have worked there. He also enumerated many achievements from toilets to debt relief.
But it was quite unusual. Two or three things are important in this. Usually, all this is not said at the time of elections. Along with this, when the interviewer asked that you campaigned fiercely, PM Modi immediately said that after the announcement of the election program, I could not even visit these states because the Election Commission had limits and there were restrictions.
It seems ridiculous that the Prime Minister should say that he did not go because of the dignity of the Election Commission. He had a Bijnor tour in UP and got canceled. Bad weather was cited. However, the weather was not bad, and UP and Uttarakhand are on the doorstep of Delhi. can go anytime.
In such a situation, he has tried to distance himself from the election. So that if something goes wrong there, then the blame does not fall on them. What he said on the defeat seemed kind of unusual.
And out of the interview of more than an hour, he spent 25-30 minutes on UP. In this, he mentioned two boys… it is quite strange, from the level of the Prime Minister, because one of them has been the Chief Minister, I do not understand the meaning of calling them, boys.
But it seems these two boys have bothered her."
During his speech, PM Modi used the word 'two boys' while targeting Akhilesh Yadav and Rahul Gandhi for them.
He said, "We have seen this game of two boys before. Their arrogance was so high that they used words like "two donkeys of Gujarat". But UP taught them a lesson. "Bua Ji" was also found with the two boys. Still, they failed.
