Modi is a classic case of running with the hair and chasing with the hound
Modi was born poor, but his dream has been to enjoy the luxury
Narendra Modi claims that he was born poor, and, therefore, is for the poor. But the experience of our politicians born poor does not support the hypothesis that a person born poor stands by the poor.

Are Mayawati, Lalu Prasad or Mulayam Singh, to name only a few, for the poor ?

Modi is no different. Any politician born poor whose dream is to be a Raja (king) is for the rich and anti-poor. The life style of a person reveals his true colour and loyalty.

Modi was born poor, but his dream has been to enjoy the luxury the rich enjoy of which his poverty deprived him. His obsession with costly dresses leading to the wearing of a 10 lakh suit with his name embroidered all over is just one example it would have seemed ultimate in vulgarity to the rich.

When a politician born poor covets the luxurious life of the rich, he also joins the club of the rich and shares their contempt for the poor. Their loyalty changes and they work to serve the interest of the community of the rich they have newly joined. Their whole politics aims at preserving the system in which the rich and their lifestyle may thrive. They serve the rich and offer sops to the poor.
Today, Narendra Modi's friends and companions are Adanis and Ambanis.
To prove the sincerity of his new friendship, he has provided Z security to Mukesh Ambani wasting the money collected from the poor in the form of indirect taxes, which should have been spent for the poor.

In his zeal to serve his rich friends, he has been misusing the power of the State and resources of the nation. What good would the robbing of land of the farmers do to the poor?

What good the so called development in Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and elsewhere would do to the poor except driving them away from their home and hearth and killing caging them if they protest? What good would come to the poor by destruction of environment caused to serve the rich?

More than one year should be enough to see through Modiji's real self and his game plan. He is a classic case of running with the hair and chasing with the hound.
