A Creditable 1st Innings as PM, a Tougher 2nd Term

Economic growth in the first United Progressive Alliance (UPA), headed by Dr Manmohan Singh, averaged 8.4% between 2004-04 and 2008-09, and then the financial crisis hit.

Three stimulus measures in response to the crisis supported growth for the first two years of UPA-II, but then it came down sharply. The sovereign debt crisis in Europe in 2011 further created macroeconomic imbalances.

The growth in UPA-I was supported by a positive global environment. Private corporate investment more than doubled to 14.3% of the GDP in 2007-08, from 6% in 2003-04. After the financial crisis, this figure dipped again. The high growth brought down the fiscal deficit to 2.5% of the GDP from 4.3% in 2003-04.

Defiant push to change Constitution

Commentators described the BJP-led government as a minority’ government that will force Mr Modi to be more circumspect and restrained. I did not share that view. They thought that Mr Modi will be more deferent to Parliament, but that too was belied by the Winter session. Apparently, on Mr Modi’s instructions, the ministers and MPs carried on in the usual aggressive way, Showed scant respect to Parliamentary rules and conventions, and rode roughshod over the Opposition
