Achhe din aane waale hain - Good days are coming:
It was as sweeping a promise of change as was Indira Gandhi’s 1971 slogan of garibi hatao!
The slogan had become a gale ki haddi- a bone stuck in the throat.
A PROMISE that the government can neither disown nor deliver.
Is there any difference between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress?
1. “The gale ki haddi will keep making itself felt: The slogan had become a gale ki haddi-A Bone struck in the Throat: A promise that the government can neither disown nor deliver. Like for Congress so far, the slogan of garibi hatao, on basis it was as sweeping a promise of change as was Indira Gandhi’s 1971 slogan of garibi hatao! There is no difference between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress?
The Sikh Vichar Manch observed.
2. “Achhe din aane waale hain (English: Good days are coming) was the Hindi slogan of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the 2014 Indian general election.
3. The slogan was coined by BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, indicating that a prosperous future was in store for India if the BJP came into power. After BJP's victory in the election, sayings that include
the words "ache din" (good days) have been used both to express optimism or to critically discuss the Modi government.
4. The slogan "Good days are coming" was coined by Narendra Modi, BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate for the 2014 Indian general election.
5. According to Modi, he got the idea for the slogan from the leader of his main opposition party, Indian National Congress, and then-Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh.
6. On 8 January 2014, while addressing the audience during Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, Singh said, "Yes, we are facing bad days now but the good days will be coming soon". During his speech at the same event the
following day, Modi referred to Singh and repeated his statement in Hindi,
which stuck as the slogan, Achhe din anne wale hain.
7. The slogan was used by BJP for Modi's lead campaign for the 2014 Indian general election.
8. When it became clear that the BJP would win the election, Narendra Modi tweeted, "India has won! Bharat ki Vijay. Ache din ane wale hai."
9. This tweet instantly became India's most retweeted Twitter post.
10. A victory song incorporating the slogan was also released by BJP.
11. The slogan was considered decisive for BJP's victory.
12. But the slogan also has been criticized for inflating expectations that the new government can quickly turn around the economy and spur economic growth.
13. Since the election, the slogan often has been referred to by various people while expressing their optimism about a better future under Modi's government. British politician George Osborne referred to the phrase when
he came to India with a business delegation.
14. The slogan was used by British Prime Minister David Cameron while introducing Modi at an event in Wembley Stadium, London on 13 November 2015. Cameron told the crowd, "They said a chai wala would never govern the largest democracy, but he proved them wrong. He rightly said acche din aane wale hain. But with his energy, with his vision, with his ambition. I will go on further and say acche din zaroor aayega (English: Good days are definitely coming)."
15. On the other hand, the slogan has also been used by critics to question the effectiveness of Modi's government.” Courtesy by: Wikipedia
achhe din slogan -This gale ki haddi
The slogan had become a gale ki haddi. A PROMISE that the government can neither disown nor deliver.
The gale ki haddi will keep making itself felt: The slogan had become a gale ki haddi. A promise that the government can neither disown nor deliver. Like for Congress so far, the slogan of garibi hatao, on basis it
was as sweeping a promise of change as was Indira Gandhi’s 1971 slogan of garibi hatao!
Mr. Nitin Gadkari, having been a national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party, to have allowed himself to observe the other day on the achhe din promise made in the 2014 Lok Sabha campaign. He was reported to have diluted and distanced his government from the achhe din slogan, so prominently and so full-throatedly voiced by his party’s prime ministerial candidate. To be fair, Gadkari is not the first to backtrack on the
promises made in 2014. It was the current BJP president who had, for example, pooh-poohed the election-time slogan of “fifteen lakh rupees in every Indian's pocket.”
During the 2014 campaign, it need be recalled, the BJP and its prime ministerial mascot were mesmerising the masses and voters with a promise of bringing back the mountainous black money that the UPA government had allowed to fly away to the Swiss banks.
The BJP president simply dismissed the tantalising promise as nothing more than an election-time jumla. Sorry folks, we simply did not mean it.
Gadkari’s demurral, however, is not deceitful. His argument, as reported in the media, was that in a vast, hugely over-populated country such as ours, with centuries of poverty and inequalities, there would always be oceans of unfulfilled dreams and ambitions, and that large swathes of society would continue to hunger and aspire for “better days.”
When confronted with the query as to when the promised achhe din would be ushered in, Gadkari had rather tartly responded that the slogan had become a gale ki haddi. A colourful Hindi colloquial expression, but a perfect epigram for the Modi government’s dilemma: a promise that the government can neither disown nor deliver. It was as sweeping a promise of change as was Indira Gandhi’s 1971 slogan of garibi hatao.
“They campaign in poetry, but they govern in prose,” as being said now.
Modi and his band of cheer-leaders are discovering for themselves now. The magician has no magic wand, it is only a sleight of hand.
The gale ki haddi will keep making itself felt: The slogan had become a gale ki haddi. A promise that the government can neither disown nor deliver. Like for Congress so far, the slogan of garibi hatao, on basis it
was as sweeping a promise of change as was Indira Gandhi’s 1971 slogan of
garibi hatao!
The good times slogan hasn’t brought good times for BJP sarkar: Modi’s delicate balancing act: What now? The good times slogan hasn’t brought good times for BJP sarkar. But the question that must be asked now is whether it is possible to govern India as a Hindu state, with all the minorities and dissenters consigned to the scrap heap.
