#ResignModi vs TINA factor: This activist insists, he can indeed be an alternative!

Chandra Vikash* answers the question: After Modi who?
***
With the election results in five states on May 2, and more than a hundred million Indians who have petitioned online with hashtag #ResignModi together with the resound drubbing by the global media projecting him as a narcissist and a disaster, it is a bygone conclusion that Modi should resign or will be forced out by the people very soon. In such an event, do we have a replacement for him in place?
After Modi who?
I don’t see anyone from the existing power circle – as coming forward or finding support with people given the widespread anger and resentment. It will therefore have to be a dark horse who can rise up to the challenge to bring together India’s diversity and differences, conflicts and contradictions and transform them into new synergies and opportunities to rise up and to save the country from sinking further into despair and disillusionment.
In such a scenario, fully aware of our deep and complex challenges at this critical juncture of a dire health and economic emergency, and confident of my knowledge and capabilities to respond to these challenges, I am putting up my self-nomination for the position of Prime Minister and call upon all of you for your support and contributions to my campaign.
I must also reiterate that I would always welcome a better candidate that any of you might suggest or even self-nominate. I shall be happy to give my full support and carry out whatever responsibility assigned to me. In support of my candidature, I would like to share this design of LACE-GAIA Model which will lay the foundation for India to re-establish itself as Sone ki Chidiya and earn respect as Vishvaguru Bharat in the new world order as the dust settles on which direction the Great Reset should take.
From a zero political figure, I hope to emerge as the frontrunner to replace outgoing PM Modi within next 72 hours with your love support and good wishes. Here is why and how for a quick read. Your comments queries and suggestions are always welcome for more.

Why 

What makes me so confident and sure of winning is my simple belief that India needs a uniting figure who can transform our delicate diversity and deep divisions into a beautiful collage called Synergy and Emergence. I am aware of our strengths and opportunities as well as constraints and limitations as one of my favorite quote goes – “No artist paints on an infinite canvas. Constraints fuel creativity.”
I believe that with my harmonious approach and powerful belief that to win truly is when no one really loses out is the need of the hour. That is the power of creativity that I hope to paint on the canvas of synergy and emergence.

How!

All I need from you is to copy and share this post with your own cover note with the hashtag #SynergyAndEmergence on all social media platforms.
Will this work?It all depends on you. Yes, this is bold and ambitious but like my other favorite quote goes: "Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come.” Making sense of the posts and responses since the election results in various states, here is a thinking aloud on a way forward:
Dissolve Congress party: Organise the cadre and resources into Lok Seva Sangh abiding by Gandhi’s wishes which have been long overdue.
Isolate Modi-Shah within BJP: Reinvigorate the spirit of pluralistic BJP of Atal era with its credo of Nation First, diluting their venomous hate-filled corrupt and divisive agenda and re-infuse harmony and Bharatiyata into the cadres preparing the ground for their removal and trial for their criminal misconduct.
Bring in all the regional parties within the greater NDA fold: Making it virtually Partyless and truly Federal with greater power for the states moving right up to Gram Panchayat and Nagarpalika.Welcome your feedback ideas and suggestions on what better options might be available.
PS: Indecisiveness or procrastination till 2024 must simply be ruled out.

Jayanthi Natarajan "never stood by tribals' rights" in MNC Vedanta's move to mine Niyamigiri Hills in Odisha

By A Representative The Odisha Chapter of the Campaign for Survival and Dignity (CSD), which played a vital role in the struggle for the enactment of historic Forest Rights Act, 2006 has blamed former Union environment minister Jaynaynthi Natarjan for failing to play any vital role to defend the tribals' rights in the forest areas during her tenure under the former UPA government.
