Forty Five days from now a new premier would take office at
South block in New Delhi after the election result were public on 16th May 2016
with a complete mandate to lift this country from gross despair and desperation.
Country has already found itself an astute and market savvy central bank
governor in Raghuram Rajan who has started to put bricks to strengthen our
financial system and monetary policy for the larger goal of macro economic
stability. But, it would be the call of new premier and his Govt. to set the
direction of the economy with their proactive decisions and management of
bloated bureaucracy in central govt. to meet the expectation of people.
Therefore, it is interesting to speculate about the agenda of the new Prime
Minister. For a change the new prime minister could choose to have a principal
secretary from industry than from bureaucracy; some body like Indira Nooui, as
much for symbol as for the substance. A person of Nooui’s ability could help the
new prime minister to execute his agenda oblivious of bureaucratic log-jam if
any; further, she has no mean global reputation for performance with purpose
which could be her single most contribution to the new govt.
Further, if the new premier wish to recoup the looses of
past sixty plus years in sixty plus months; then, he should know that well
enough----it is impossible to deliver in such a scale alone; he would need a
team of four deputy premier to help him execute his vision while giving the
premier the time and space to select the Strategic Direction from time to time.
That should also help to evolve a loyal and committed core team while balancing
the administrative necessity of large country as ours and political expediency
of personal political ambitions of his senior colleagues in the cabinet. It
would be also imperative to leave behind the bitterness of hard fought general
election campaign and move to build a National Consensus on the Strategic
Direction for the country. It is possible to bring about a consensus on “India
the Global Economic & Political Power of 21st Century”.
The new govt. and the opposition could break bread while discussing over the
finer points of such a proposition. The new Govt. is going to inherit a litany
of issues from a virtually defunct, dysfunctional and at times an impotent
predecessor govt.; however, the new Govt. could wisely choose five to ten items
for a fast drive in 1st year that would have multiplier effect in
other sectors. In my opinion ‘water’ remains central to our life and
civilization and therefore it should be on top of our hit list; that should
look after the conservation, augmentation and management of water that alone
would have a great impact on our Agriculture & Agriculture productivity
apart from Dairy, Fishery and Water transportation sectors. The other important
issues could be ‘women’, ‘infrastructure’, and ‘ease of doing businesses’ and
‘connectivity in land, air and in the seas’ and ‘policing’ and many others. It
is very important for the new Govt. to be straight with its people and
communicate regularly what it propose to do and how? This should transform the
hopes of millions of young people in India
with concrete result on the ground. Hope is in the air for a better time for
all of us.
