Ek Saal Modi Sarkar

All these days news channels have literally gone crazy with their surveys, polls, debates, roundtable talks, etc. All of them are reacting to this event as if for the 1st time any government has completed one year in office. Hardly anyone cares what these news channels boomerang about, In my opinion these news channels make anything but sense. Their absurd debates are really a source of envy for cartoon channels.
So before anyone judges this government, it's important to look at the premises & the context in which this government came to power. This government came to power at a critical juncture where our nation was sans any leadership & suffering from acute policy paralysis. Bureaucrats were confused whether they need to report to 7, RCR or 10, Janpath. Nation required eagle's ears to listen to their prime minister & still they weren't sure if they could listen to him or not. An environment of doom & gloom had taken over India in the last 2 years of UPA-2. It is important that we look at this government's performance in contrast to the previous UPA dispensation.
Now let's assess the present day government realistically. Though one may legitimately say that Modi had raised the bar of expectations to an unrealistic levels. So it was bound to face some flank. But the flip side is that had he not done so, Modi would've never got such a resounding mandate. The biggest achievement of Modi Government is that it has brought governance & policy as a central agenda. The national discourse has shifted from political statements to policy analysis. People are now ready to vote in & vote out any government on the basis of its economic performance. That's the biggest political change that we've seen & it is heartening to note. The dole & freebie culture can't ensure you another term but an 8 % growth does ensure it. Looking at the macroeconomic parameters, economists are of the opinion that Indian economy is getting back on track. Now the assessment of an economist often doesn't match with that of an aam aadmi. An aam aadmi doesn't look at CPI or WPI to gauge inflation or price rise. His definition of price rise is the cost at which he purchases 1 kg onion. But the trickle down effect of economy is yet to be seen. So hopefully even an aam aadmi's economic assessment will match with that of a renowned economist. As far as other economic issues are concerned, be it taxation policy, investments, trade, etc. the real assessment can be done only when the steps taken by the government culminate into tangible results on the ground. So people complaining about 'zameen pe kuch nai hora'  are right in a sense that medicine takes time to act. And giving steroids is not the permanent solution to any disease.
One thing in which Modi's harshest critics will agree is that this man works tirelessly. There can be no doubts about the efforts put in by this government. We may disagree about the effects yielded but we all will agree that there hasn't been any compromise in the efforts put in by Modi & his cabinet. Finally the proof of this government working is the fact that we're scrutinising this government endlessly.
One big change which we're seeing is that social media has become the voice of the people. Main Stream Media has by & large lost its credibility. Their integrity is highly questionable & their clout in Lutyens' Delhi has been demolished. Mr. Modi broke all the power circles & made governance a transparent process. So MSM not being happy is something quite understandable as they were the main middle-men or power brokers in Delhi.
Finally let's remember that Mr. Modi had asked for 60 months & not 12 months. So let's have the trust in him. His record in gujarat definitely points to some 'Ache Din' ahead. And my personal sense about Mr. Modi is that he's much smarter than what everyone thinks.
It's 5 saal Modi Sarkar so have patience.
