It has been around 50 days since the
newly formed government has been in action. With promises of better governance,
rein in prices, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, reduced
corruption, bringing back of black money, so on and so forth, the BJP led
government stormed to power. Many believed that it was the charisma of Shri.
Narendra Modi which helped the BJP realize its long awaited dream. However the
outcome at the end of one month is not as pleasing as the citizens of the
largest democracy in the world, who empowered a single party with a clear
mandate to govern the nation, anticipated to be.
With increase in passenger fares and freight rates in Indian railways
and recent hike in the petrol and diesel prices, things are gradually appearing
to be going from bad to worse.
Rome was not built
overnight and similarly India can’t change within the blink of an eye, as some
say “The mess of ten years cannot be cleaned in a month”. However NaMo’s
extremely advanced strategic management and marketing team failed to mention
the bitter pill that would complement the dessert of Ache Din that BJP offered during their election campaign. This has surely left
the masses aghast.
Although the government has had a little to cheer about INS Vikramaditya and commercial success of PSLV C 23, it is obvious that such milestone projects did not take place in a span
of 30 days and were the brain child of ISRO during the times of former NDA and UPA governments and not that of the current
government.
I might appear cynical about the approach of our present government, but all
I’m worried about is people’s changing perception of the slogan ‘Ache din aane
wale hain’.
The existing council of ministers are
so engrossed in discussions of Article
370 and Uniform
Civil Code, they seem to have forgotten that as
per their own manifesto released during elections, curtailment of corruption, employment generation
and containment of inflation remains
their top most priority.
With meteorological department predictions of below average rainfall which
eventually may lead to inflation, it will be interesting to see the policies
and reforms of the existing government to revive the Indian economy at the
earliest.
Even though a span of 30 days is too little to judge any government, too much
delay in showing signs of development could metaphorically reflect an old
saying "Curiosity Killed the Cat" with assembly elections in the
states of Maharashtra and Haryana delivering unfavourable results for the BJP.
All eyes are now set on our visionary prime minister to make things right and
keep the ball rolling in the arena of progress and development. My best wishes
are with him and all my fellow Indians. May India scale up the pinnacles of
success in years to come.
