The new Govt. led by Narendra Modi has managed to do just
one thing in 100 days and that is transforming a few millions of Indians from
despair & desperation to hope and self belief and from negative mindset to
a very positive environment of expectation of success for an entire Nation---
things will move and work will happen as per schedule. However, in the bargain
Mr. Modi, who is a fountainhead of Ideas, may have missed out a few things
inadvertently. First of all, Modi heads a cabinet which looks little
uncomfortable and a little incomplete from outside. Modi has taken on an
onerous responsibility of a huge backlog of last decade on Governance and
mismanagement of last six plus decades Therefore, it would be urgent and
important for the prime minister to make his cabinet much more cohesive and as
much inspired as he himself remains and fill up the gaps in the cabinet as soon
as possible; if for nothing else, at least to save the poor finance minister
who was compelled to read out his maiden budget speech from a chair due to
health reasons. It would be a good Idea to pick up Indian origin global talent
to help the premier in execution. PM has articulated his vision about 100 smart
cities; however, completely for got about the condition and opportunities
trapped in our metro cities. Our metro cities have grown much beyond the scope
of civic administration and urgently need a structural operation to transform
them into City State
to tap the benefits of Global Cities; attract Global resources for much faster
growth in society & economy. NDA Govt. has unveiled gigantic plans which
would require huge resources beyond the scope of revenue; therefore, Govt.
should take bold steps to unlock value from the public sector by bringing them
under one umbrella—Holding Company. Further, Govt. should have taken urgent
measures to wards self reliance in fossil fuel by encouraging large scale
Jatropa farming in each village in the country.
Prime Minister talked at length on taking the State Govt.
along with the Central Govt.; but, failed to organize a Chief Minister’s
conference to share his vision about Govt., Governance & Development. He
did not include any Chief Minister in the Cabinet Committee on Political
Affairs; which he could have expanded to include four chief ministers from each
geographical regions as invitee. Further, PM could have initiated structural
changes in the district administration to make governance more responsive and
responsible. Modi Ji started the movement of ‘Sadvabana’ that is Sarba Dharma
and Sarba Pranta Prayers from the shores of Gujarat; which his Govt. should
continue in different parts of the country in regular intervals which would
improve the social contacts between its diverse constituents and over a period
of time build understanding and trust for a shared economic prosperity against
a toxic and inflammable environment of political expediency. That would also
give India a
moral right to intervene against sectarian violence & war in the World for
Peace and Prosperity. Modi Ji would be in Delhi
for a long haul and therefore let him drop his guard a little and assimilate
& acknowledge the power elite of Delhi .
PM could appoint a hostess for 7 Race Course from the ranks of Indian Foreign
Service and open the doors of PM residence to the practitioner of Art,
Literature and Culture to propagate the soft power of PMO.
