Narendra Modi Ke Teen Saal Be-Misaal!

Though a majority of Indians still have faith in the government, there are subtle signs of desperation among the people in view of unfulfilled vast array of promises made by Modi during poll campaign.

The BJP-led NDA government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has com-pleted three years in power on May 26. The Modi government came to power riding high on the aspirations and expectations of people, who waited for ‘ache din’ — the slogan which propelled the BJP to become the first political party in 30 years to win a majority on its own in the Lok Sabha.

Three years down the line, the Modi government faces serious challenges even as the BJP has been on an election winning spree. Undoubtedly, a majority of Indians still have faith in the Modi government; nevertheless, there are subtle signs of desperation among the people in view of unfulfilled vast array of promises made the present dispensation. The Modi government during these years launched a raft of new schemes, championed old ones or silently embraced those it was once critical of.

These schemes were camouflaged under pithy slogans and when came to the matter of accountability of implementing them, subterfuge was sought by saying that it was a ‘jumble.’ Performance of the Modi government during the past three years can be judged in the realms of economy, national security, and bonanza for the BJP, social services and foreign policy.
