A good outcome of Annaji's fast was to trigger a new era of "Fast" politics by Politicians. "Fast", Anshans, Satyagrah etc. were forgotten by modern Politiciancs who believed more in "Rally" politics in which "paid" public is mobilized to show the strength of individual leaders or parties.
Upbeat with the success of Annaji's Fast, "Professional" politicians felt the Anna's tool is better than any other forms of political activities to win over People. However, the latest 3 days"Fast" by Narendra Modi in Gujarat failed to impress upon anyone other than his sycophant or BJP circle. Though we have been praising for the developmental agenda he has been pushing for & could achieve as well in Gujarat. Prosperity & progress of Gujarat & upliftment of urban areas particularly Ahmedabad, Baroda, Surat, Rajkot etc. are the examples of good governance in Gujarat.
But Modi's "Sadbhawna Fast" & his speeches in the function exposed him as an arrogant Politician indulged in "self- praise" posing as "self styled" massiah of 6 crores Gujarati. In fact his addresses in the function might have declined his popularity in national arena. Though developments took place in Gujarat but no body can claim that Gujarat is a "zero" corruption state.
The general form of corruption exists in Gujarat alike any part of the country. Anyone can go to RTO office, Property & estate registration office, different "inspectors" from Sales tax to Excise to Police or factory/industry ,will find same "Indian" style corruption virus everywhere, but somehow covered under the carpet of "development" visible on the ground.
It looked as the Modi's Fast & 3 days conclave should have been propagated as the" Modi-Felicitation" event where "Modi-Chalisa" was chanted. Instead of Sadbhawna Fast, I found it a State supported "Jai ho Modi" show. For attaining Statesmanship of the stature of Indira Gandhi, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel,Lal Bahadur Shastri or BJP's Atal Bihari Vajpayee, these kind of Fast-politics may not help ,rather it would puncture Modi's dream of becoming PM.
Anyway, though "no near" to beat Modi in 'poltics", Shanker Singh Vaghela too tried to perform the tantrum of "Fast" to regain his political "ground". On watching them ( both Modi & Vaghela) both on "Fast", somebody murmured " Kahan Anna aur Kahan ye Nautankibaj". Difference between Anna's fast & Modi-Vaghela fast was Anna's fast was for the People & by the People by Heart, whereas Modi's Fast was to get "personal" mileage to improve upon his prospects for future "PM" & Vaghela sat on "Fast"with the insignificant objectives and no support from National level leaders. Anna's fast was selfless "Fast" for the Country, Modi's act was full with selfish motive pretending to be for the Country,but was for Him only.
