ON APRIL 1, addressing RBI@90, a programme to commemorate 90 years of Reserve Bank of India in Mumbai, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked financial sector representatives to use time till elections to come up with “out of the box” ideas for supporting emerging sectors. Giving a peek into what to expect if BJP-led NDA forms government after general elections, Modi said a lot of work is coming your way. “It is very important that goals for next ten years be crystal clear. No one can stop a nation whose goals are clear. We need to support growth and ensure new competencies in rising sectors like tourism. I am busy with elections for next 100 days. So, you have ample time. You give a close thought as a barrage of work will come your way the very next day of the oath-taking ceremony,” he said.

The prime minister had first talked about a third term for BJP before the Budget session on January 31 when he said the Interim Budget will serve as a ‘guidance’ for the future. Since then, the prime minister, his Cabinet colleagues and BJP rank and file have been talking confidently about coming to power for the third consecutive term. With the campaign in full swing, the party’s slogan, Abki Baar 400 Paar, is ringing louder. The ball, of course, is in the electorate’s court.
