Chapter 5 - Prologue (Part 1)

(16th May 2014)

"The Lok Sabha election results are out!

BR became the biggest party with 266 seats, just 6 seats short of majority. But the IDA alliance it us leading has gotten 297 seats.

BJP emerged as the second biggest party, with 198 seats.

And shockingly, Congress finished at just 20 seats! Even TMC has gotten more seats!

This election has been shocking, with a fierce rivalry between BR and BJP.

BR led IDA alliance will form the government. Biswanath Rathore will become the first PM of India who was born after Independence!"

"Aside from Lok Sabha, the results of 5 states which had Vidhan Sabha Elections have also come out.

BR has won in Andhra Pradesh and Arunachal Pradesh on its own. In Telangana, TRS has become the biggest party, and will form the government with BR in alliance.

IDA allies BJD and SDF have won in Odisha and Sikkim with full majority."

"So this time, the elections were crazy and unexpected. But it is clear to everyone. The era of Congress is over, as it is in not even in the opposition.

We will keep updating on the results. Keep watching, Kal Tak."

I switched off the TV, and started dancing in joy.

Well, I don't really know much, so I settled for Balle Balle and Nagin dance.

I WON!

I thought that my party and BJP will have to form an alliance to form the government, but we WON!

It was close though. In many seats, the winning vote difference were in hundreds.

I stopped myself from smiling like a kid and got into my car. Its time to head to the party main office.

In my past life, I was just a normal engineering college student in 2025. After dying to Truck-kun, I got reincarnated back in my own world, in my own city, in my own house. In 1966 in Raipur.

So, I completed my 12th in 1980, at the age of 14, and completed my B.Tech by 1984.

There weren't really any high paying jobs. And since I had the advantage of future knowledge, I tried to start a company. But gave up due to the License Raj.

So instead, I started my own political party, BharatRath(BR), with a good structure by taking inspiration from CCP and Singapore's PAP, a merit-based political party, and with entrance exams, Disciplinary Committee, full elections, and such.

So, most of the party is made up of educated people who failed to get a rank in UPSC, college graduates, and such. Therefore, it is atleast better than any other political party in India. Though it doesn't mean that there is no corruption.

That's why Disciplinary Committee is so strong in the party. Anyone caught in corruption is immediately kicked out and sued for defaming the party.

So, corruption is very low compared to BJP, and astronomically lower than Congress.

Anyway, I have been the CM of Chhattisgarh from 2003 to 2013, and started focusing on 2014 elections after BR won in Chhattisgarh again for the 3rd time since its first election after separation from Madhya Pradesh.

I can't even recognise the Chhattisgarh of my previous world in here. Afterall, most of the toys in India are manufactured here, anime industry has started picking up after the manga I created, Death Note's worldwide success, manufacturing of small accessories like charger, adaptors, etc.

The second biggest IT zone after Bengaluru is Naya Raipur, with Durg making sure that the load isn't too much. Back in my previous life, Naya Raipur wasn't much of a city.

Anyway, Chhattisgarh has transformed a lot.

Especially in farming and animal husbandry sector. Drip irrigation system, biogas and biomass fertilizers, A2 milk that doesn't cause lactose intoleration, eggs, no sugarcane, more wheat and millets than rice, all this has also led to a huge surplus of water, both underground and in rain water harvesting storages.

If managed and saved correctly, India can never have water scarcity.

As my convoy headed towards the office, I admired the streets. Clean and green. Good thing I banned tobacco, pan and pan masala, chewing gum, and cigarettes long ago. There is no need for red holi on the walls.

Heavy fines on littering, CCTVs, more traffic police, and proper municipality were really necessary too.

But, not everything is good. The temperature is 41°C right now. It is better than previous year due to a lot of tree plantation and banning more than 10 year old cars during summers if the car is not fully occupied, but 41°C is very high.

Moreover, pollution is increasing day by day. Chhattisgarh's main industry is mining and processing, which makes 30% of its GSDP(Gross State Domestic Product). And Chhattisgarh's main mined product is coal.

Banning use of coal in cooking and during winters, have worked a lot, and replacing it with processed biofuel has been game-changer. But burning of coal from power plants produce a lot of pollution, along with trucks.

The need for trucks needs to be replaced with freight railways, which will finally be under my government.

IIIT Naya Raipur is currently working on a solution for solidifying the smoke from the chimneys of power plants to use it for other things though.

And aside from pollution, the Naxalis are a problem in deep areas like Bastar. They aren't some 'protect forest' types, but Maoist commie goons. They killed a tourist from Kerala two-three years back. Hunt for them is going on, and after they are dealt with Bastar will be developed as a natural tourist zone, with entry tickets so that it doesn't suffer from over-tourism.

Anyway, Chhattisgarh is on the right track, its time to bring the country too.
