There are three types of people in India, especially with respect to their political liking or disliking, generally speaking in today's context.
The first category includes those who like Modi, the Prime Minister, the second category includes those who do not like Modi and the third category includes the fence seaters. The fence seaters can swing to any side depending upon the situations & circumstances. The fence seaters may have their independent mind or they can be politically neutral or disinterested also. The people who like the present regime are called Modi bhaktas and those who don't like Modi (they dislike to be called as bhaktas of x, y or z..but some people use different terminology something similar for this group). The second category of people have different political philosophy, beliefs and ideology, even some times diagonally opposite within but one thing is common to them that they all oppose Modi.
The political combination of 'oppose Modi' group may fight within themselves but they get united against Modi. They can also come together to form a political front for this very purpose, of course with their eyes deeply rooted on the win in elections. They are so blind that they will oppose Modi for each and every thing in India or outside that happens or does not happen. They will never see a reason to appreciate any positive work being done by Modi government.
On the other hand, the Modi bhaktas are no different. They will praise everything that Modi does and don't use any reasoning to oppose Modi if something does goes wrong. The escape of likes of Vijay Mallaya, Nirav Modi & Mehul Choksi is certainly a failure of this government or the machinery under it. But the Modi bhaktas will not admit it. While, it is also a fact that all these escapists, bhagodas in Hindi, committed all the sins during the opposite regime, they will put the entire blames & responsibility on Modi government.
Such a situation is not a healthy one for democracy. The opposition camp should be constructive & logical in their behaviour keeping the national interest as paramount while the ruling class should also open to criticism and admit lapses if happen knowingly or unknowingly. These should be the 'rajdharma'.
However, if they don't follow the 'rajdharma' the normal public should not fall prey to their political manoeuvre. Public should not become blind bhaktas or anti bhaktas. Unfortunately, on social media , we see general public fighting against each other, either to prove that Modi government is 100% pure or the earlier regimes were greatest India ever had. It is a fact that had the earlier regime the greatest, there would not have been a Modi. Why can't we see 'black' as black and 'white' as white without any bias or tilt.
Unfortunately, India is yet to reach this maturity level.
