If it is one name that has become difficult to avoid in
India's today's Political scenario, it is the magic man from Gujarat. No doubt,
that the Modi- Mantra has taken the nation by storm. Although from all corners,
he has been portrayed deliberately as Ravan, the man and his accomplishments
are an example for the politicians across the country. This was not written to
increase his vote bank, but rather wanted to convey how desperate that Young
India needs a good leader and not just a Prime Minister.
Dr. Manmohan Singh’s nine years in the office, was not
something India could have afforded in its crucial years towards development. Dr.
Singh would be remembered as one of the best economist in the modern India. But
sadly, he was never a prime ministerial material. His silence to the endless scams, forbearance
with corrupted ministers and politicians, and stillness towards declining
economic growth makes him one of the numb prime ministers in recent times.
Although the country performed promisingly during the 2008
recession, stagnating reforms and policy paralysis has been casting doubt over
its growth. Adding fuel to the fire, the Rupee depreciation and staunch
regulatory environment is not acting well with the investors as many are threatening
to pull out from the country.
There was
never a big gap between the development phases that China had against India.
But the aggressiveness of Chinese has been well portrayed by the development
the country has shown to the world. China was not just a healthy competitor for
India; it has always been a threatening rival. The frequent intrusions in to the
borders, shows how China wags its tail to its Indian counterparts, who do
nothing but whine. The current Indian
prime minister has not only ill-famed his stature but also has remained largely
idle, in the most decisive years of India’s rise to economic supremacy. So what
is the correlation and India’s biggest bet?
Could Modi be the messiah of the wrecked Indian Ship?
Rahul Gandhi’s recent statements to his party workers “keep Modi pinned to Gujarat” shows, how much
the fear of Modi has sinked in the congress camp. While Modi is definitely
paying the prices for the past sins and has a huge challenge to show his
secularity to his countrymen, I can’t
avoid admiring him for the service he has rendered not just to his state but to
the whole country.
At a time when endless scams are being unearthed both in the
political and in the business environment and when the country was devoid of an
able leader, he stood by example. One prime example of many of Modi’s success
stories is his turnaround in the Power sector. When he took over as the chief
minister in 2001, Gujarat’s electricity board posted a loss of Rs. 2,246
crores. In a decade he has transformed his state in to the one which has
surplus power, with innovative approaches and methods.
The man has aggressiveness, experience and vision for the
country. It would be no wonder if Modi is selected as the Prime Ministerial
candidate from the BJP Party. I believe he is the trump card for BJP to come in
to power and India to attain the supremacy in 21st century. Narendra
Modi is going to be India’s biggest bet, as he has shown the world, “where there is a will, there is a way”
