Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently addressed the opposition’s allegations that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is in control of all institutions and that there is no level playing field. He responded with a popular saying, “Naach na jaane aangan tedha,” implying that those who cannot dance blame the unevenness of the ground.
The Prime Minister said, “…There is a saying — Naach na jaane aangan tedha. That’s why sometimes they will make excuses for the EVM. Basically, for the defeat, they have started to set some reasoning from now.”
The opposition’s allegations suggest that the BJP’s control over institutions is creating an unfair advantage in their favor. However, PM Modi’s response indicates that these allegations are merely excuses made in anticipation of electoral defeat.
The Prime Minister’s reference to the saying “Naach na jaane aangan tedha” is significant. This proverb is often used to describe a situation where a person blames external circumstances for their own shortcomings. In this context, PM Modi suggests that the opposition is blaming the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and the alleged control of institutions by the BJP as a pretext for their potential defeat.
PM Modi’s statement implies that the opposition has already started to prepare reasons for their possible defeat in the upcoming elections. He suggests that these allegations are not based on factual evidence but are rather an attempt to discredit the electoral process and the BJP.
As India gears up for the next election cycle, PM Modi’s statement adds a new dimension to the political discourse. It remains to be seen how the opposition responds to these remarks and how this debate shapes the political strategies of various parties in the coming days. For now, the Prime Minister’s candid response to the opposition’s allegations makes it a topic worth watching.
