The day Narendra Modi was sworn in on May 26th, 2014, that particular day there was a train accident with many casualties indicating not a great start for a newly elected Prime Minister representing BJP party and above all an organization RSS whose members like Sakshi Maharaj and Yogi Adityanath, the saffron sadhus contesting in the present election are scaring voters by saying those who don’t vote for them will experience bad luck and misfortune even to the extent of casting them sinners with no redemption.
RSS premised on Hindutva ideology delineated from Hinduism and Hindu philosophy fielding candidates like Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, the duopoly heavily rely on identity politics such as caste, creed, color, religion and gender…for political survival.
Wonder what RSS rooted in orthodox archaic and superstitious beliefs as well as practice thought about the tragic yet symbolic incident costing lives on May 26, 2014 when their candidate Narendra Modi took oath of office as Prime Minister. Upon emulating their fundamental thought in this instance, that moment was suggestive of electing Narendra Modi to lead the country a train wreck, interestingly proved as such five years later.
The article related to the train accident on May 26, 2014 reminding Narendra Modi and party on the fateful day and for the nation to remember now in 2019 and reflect on the last five years under Narendra Modi.
Deadly train crash in north India
26 May 2014
At least 20 people are feared dead after a passenger train derailed and hit a stationary goods train in India’s Uttar Pradesh state, officials say.
Six coaches of the Gorakhdham Express went off the rails and ploughed into the freight train at Chureb railway station in Sant Kabir Nagar district.
Railway spokesman Anil Saxena told the BBC nine bodies had been recovered.
Officials said rescuers were searching through the mangled coaches and a number of people were trapped.
Eighty-three people had been injured, including the train’s driver and assistant driver who were in a critical condition, they added.
The train was travelling from Gorakhpur town to Hisar in Haryana state.
“A medical train with doctors and paramedics has reached the site of the crash,” Mr Saxena said. “We’ve also sent machines to cut the coaches to reach the passengers who are still trapped.”
“My condolences to families of those who lost their lives in the Gorakhdham express tragedy. Prayers with the injured,” Narendra Modi, who takes over as India’s prime minister tweeted.
