BJP pull up your socks – The People Deserve Accountability

 *BJP pull up your socks – The People Deserve Accountability*

• For more than a decade, whenever the government has faced agitation, unrest, or criticism, the explanation has been the same: *Congress ecosystem, George Soros, Deep State, or foreign-funded NGOs.*

• But India has lived through the reality, and it tells another story.

* When the *anti-CAA protests* erupted at Shaheen Baug in 2019–20, they were dismissed as “foreign-funded” and driven by “urban naxals.”

* When the *Farmers’ agitation* shook Delhi in 2020–21, it was brushed aside as a Khalistani conspiracy propped up by outside money.

* In *Manipur*, an ethnic conflict has torn the state apart for over 2 years. Hundreds have died, lakhs have been displaced, churches and temples burnt —and yet the explanation given is that “external forces” are fanning the fire. 

If that is true, why has the government been unable to stamp it out even after deploying central forces?

* In *Ladakh*, locals who once celebrated UT status are now agitating for statehood, Sixth Schedule protections, and safeguards for jobs and land. 

Instead of addressing genuine concerns about ecology, livelihoods, and representation, the response again is to accuse “vested interests” of manipulating the people.

This reflex blame game has become a habit. Blame Soros, blame the Deep State, blame Congress, blame “foreign hands.” 

The problem? It is now *11 years since BJP came to power with a historic mandate.* If the government still cannot plug foreign funding, dismantle the so-called ecosystem, and insulate India from external lobbies, the problem lies *not outside the country but inside the government itself.*

• And here lies a deep contradiction: on one hand, the BJP claims it has *finished Congress politically*, reducing it to irrelevance. On the other hand, every single problem—from street protests to social unrest—is still blamed on the “Congress ecosystem.” 

Which one is true? Either Congress is finished, or its shadowy ecosystem is powerful enough to destabilize the nation. Both claims cannot hold together.

The truth is simple:

* *Leadership is not about scapegoating forever.* It is about neutralizing enemies and delivering results.

* *Foreign policy is not about slogans.* It is about ensuring no foreign lobby can play games on our soil.

* *Governance is not event management.* It is about building institutions strong enough to withstand pressure.

Yes, foreign players meddle. Yes, opposition plays politics. But that is the nature of democracy and geopolitics. 

A strong government was given * 3 consecutive terms* to deliver stability and strength. 

If India still burns in Manipur, still seethes in Ladakh, and still protests on the streets over farmers’ or social issues, then pointing fingers at external conspiracies is not an answer—it is an *excuse for failure.*

The Indian people are not fools. They know the difference between sabotage and incompetence. They gave this government unprecedented trust and time. Now they demand *accountability, not alibis.*

Eleven years is long enough. The old excuses have passed their expiry date. 

If those in power continue to insult the people’s intelligence with the same hollow blame game, the public will do what it always does in a democracy—*deliver its own verdict at the ballot box.*

So, pull up your socks.
