India has four mints spread over the country in Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Noida. These facilities mint coins for the use of the public at large. Prime Minister Modi has set up a fifth mint. This mint does not produce coins, it mints new words and slogans. The latest word he has minted is Andolan Jeevi , obviously referring to those who have made his life difficult in recent times by launching protests against the policies of his government. The pride of place here is occupied by the farmers of the country who, when they realised the pernicious impact the three farm laws would have on their livelihoods, launched a massive movement against the government.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is experiencing a thesaurus moment. Known for crafting acerbic adjectives and giving old slogans a new spin, he is the ultimate bhashajeevi of India. Tukde-Tukde gang, Khan Market Gang and Bharat ka Chowkidar are now catchwords in the national lexicon: Aatmanirbharta was chosen the Oxford Dictionary s Hindi word of 2020.
Last week, Modi gave a new label to a genus of protestors - andolanjeevi; a derisive term for professional agitators seeking relevance by popping up at each and every anti-establishment agitation, irrespective of geography. Neatly sparing the agitating farmers, Modi branded their invisible and visible supporters andolanjeevis.
The Shiv Sena also took a jibe at BJP saying that Jana Sangh founder Shyama Prasad Mukherjee protested against the revocation of Article 370 and now his sacrifice is being called andolanjeevi .
