Narendra
Modi asked, “If not me, then who else will be the next Prime Minister of India.”
Amit Shah
said in confidence, “Jayalalithaji.”
Narendra
Modi asked, “Are you certain? Do you think we could form an alliance with
Jayalalithaji and give her key positions in the cabinet?”
Amit Shah
said, “No, Jayalalithaji is firm on her strategy. Her strategy is, no alliance
with either Congress or BJP; face the election alone; after the election, form
a coalition government with Mamata Didi, Patnaik, Akilesh and others.”
Narendra
Modi asked, “So, it is not only Jayalalitha but also others like Mamata Didi.”
Amit Shah
said, “No. Jayalalithaji is the only threat. Without Jayalalitha, others cannot
form an effective coalition.”
After a
long silence, Narendra Modi asked, “So, without Jayalalitha, there will be no
threat?”
Amit Shah
confirmed, “Yes. That’s right. If Jayalalitha is not in the field, then we will
have no problem in winning the next election.”
Narendra
Modi ordered, “Then, execute that plan.”
Amit Shah
said, “What plan? I have no plan. I have reported about the current challenges
only and I have not presented any plan.”
Narendra
Modi said, “Amit, challenges are innovative opportunities. Jayalalitha is a
challenge; eliminate Jayalalitha; then you generate a lot of opportunities; not
only for us, but also for others; politicians in Tamil Nadu would love it.”
Amit Shah
didn’t understand it and asked, “Eliminate Jayalalitha means – I don’t
understand it.”
Narendra
Modi said, “Amit, Gujarat is our model. What do we do when we face challenges
in Gujarat?”
Amit Shah
said, “We do eliminate them in Gujarat.”
Narendra
Modi confirmed, “That is what we need to do at the national level. Come up with
a plan; let me go through it; approve it; and then you execute it.”
Amit Shah
said, “But Jayalalithaji is your friend.”
Narendra
Modi said, “I have no friends. Also, I have no enemies. My enemies need to
learn to live in fear or let them leave this world. Moreover, in the last
election itself, Jayalalitha did challenge me and asked people, Modi ya, illa
intha Lady ya?”
Amit Shah
said, “Okay. Let me work with my team and come up with a plan for the execution
of Amma.”
Narendra
Modi gave a name for this operation and said it aloud, “Operation Mother
India.”
Amit Shah
liked this name and said, “For now, Jayalalithaji is Amma for Tamil Nadu only.
After this operation, Jayalalithaji will become Amma for the whole India.”
“Bharat
Matha ki, Jai.”
