The love and support Narendra Modi enjoyed at the beginning of his term as PM was unprecedented in recent history. Despite his association with the ultra-right RSS and the taint of the Godhra massacre, Indians of all religions were willing to give him a chance to be the leader he could be.
We loved and trusted him so much that we believed that demonetization was in the interest of the nation, even if it meant that some of us lost our grandparents when we couldn't furnish new cash notes at the hospital or lost our businesses - it was all for the nation.
So, imagine our disillusionment and disappointment after all the pains we bore, when this leader continues in his old ways of lies and hate. When he resorts to name calling of opponents, when he lies and fabricates facts at public rallies, when he is seen to be favoring his set of crony capitalists, when his coterie encourages violence against students and free-speech, when they piggyback on the army's achievement - he and the BJP have caused irreparable damage to all of us. We were all taken in by the lies fed by the BJP's hate factories continually churning out doctored photos and fake facts on previous leaders and administrations.
Instead, Mr. Modi could have used this opportunity and this love he had earned and this collective desire for change, to call on us to work for the country. A word from him and we'd have gathered to clean the Ganga, we'd have gathered to educate our fellow countrymen, we'd have contributed to help our farmers. Instead we got electoral bonds and paltry loan waivers and broken Ujwala yojanas.
Does he even know, surrounded as he is by sycophants, what an opportunity he has squandered? If he had exercised impartiality, grace and forgiveness; he could have been one of the greatest leaders of India, even greater than the object of his obsession - Jawaharlal Nehru.
But alas! Can a leopard change its spots? Or a chameleon not change color.
