The Fan Club Is Not A Government
A fan club can move fast.
It can fill a street. It can defend the leader online. It can spread a clip. It can make a man look unstoppable.
But a fan club is not a government.
Government is slower. It is heavier. It is less exciting.
Government is files, budgets, officers, laws, contracts, courts, tenders, taxes, schools, hospitals, buses, police stations, angry voters and promises that come due.
That is where the hero meets the wall.
In a film, the hero knows who the villain is.
In government, the villain may be delay. Or debt. Or bad data. Or a lazy department. Or a corrupt ally. Or a promise made too easily.
That is why Vijay’s real test is not whether people love him.
They already do.
The test is whether love can be turned into work.
That is much harder.
