Dear NaMo, Let’s begin with some honesty. I never really liked you. Despite all the reports suggesting that you were taking Gujarat to new heights of development, I always felt you were way too cocky. Humility was grossly missing in your persona. Maybe that’s also the reason why you never felt the need to apologize for the loss of human lives during your tenure. [No, no, I’m not referring to earthquake.] Any other chief minister would have found it morally wrong to continue on his chair after what really happened. You were different. You said you weren’t complicit to what ensued in the name of religion. Unfortunately, the majority sided with you saying you were protecting Hindu — if not Gujarati — asmita. To your credit, even the Supreme Court (although via a special investigation unit) found you clean.
