Do you think Modi can bring change if given chance?

Do you think Modi can bring change if given a majority?

That's the more relevant question here. And my answer is, probably yes.
In case of a hung house or in case of a coalition (which is most likely) with parties with their own agendas, I fail to see how Modi can be overwhelmingly good compared to a Congress PM.

The answer is yes as well as no.

If BJP wins with complete majority then you can expect "some" changes. If it comes with coalition with very tom, dick and harry party then mostly no. Simply said If you want a change then do vote and hope for a stable govt. Also one thing, apart from Gujrat riot, Modi's name has not come under scrutiny for any kind of corruption or anything else.

 

[ayanavish]

Yeah, Rajiv Gandhi got away with the 1984 massacre, and now Modi wants to repeat the same by coming to power. Both parties are crooks and won't leave any stone unturned to come to power, and then retain it in whatever way possible.

As an atheist and a secular humanist, I can never support a religious nationalist and a fundamentalist. Corruption is a major challenge, but even more so in the inter-mingling of state and religion. Congress is selectively communal, but hide under the pretext of secualarism, whereas BJP are open about their communal stance. When the opposition itself is such, the choices are very limited.

That is one of the main reasons why I wish to see a push for third-front. They won't win immediately, but over the course of time, even if they could somehow manage to get themselves into the opposition, it would be a far better political landscape than just Congress and BJP bickering over who wants to stay in power.

One big challenge with 3rd, 4th or whatever front is that only a miracle would give them absolute majority. And coalition Govt. would never let them bring any positive change.

Tell this lie again and again till it is believed to be true.

This is the possibility which we are looking at 80-20.

I will seriously like to be educated on this if otherwise.

Check out the Gujarat gas deal, perpetrated by both BJP and Congress in Gujarat, with Modi at the helm.

Also, there are many industry-related corruption practices. No wonder many large-scale industries are attracted to Gujurat; however, there are no jobs to show for that (check out the employment rate).

Moreover, by delaying the appointment of Lokayukta, Modi has ensured that his state his "scam-free." Congress is in on the corruption in the state too, but Modi is no saint either. After all, he needed the money to fund his PM campaign, and APCO don't work for cheap.

What do you guys think ? Can problem of corruption solved with top down approach ? Can one person bring all changes ? And can India prosper under Modi's ruling ?

Wow, what a question and title. Though i think the intent is to explore just what people expect and what is actually possible.

See the title...bring change if given a chance.

People see what he did in Gujurat and they think he can do the same with the country.

I see a lot of parallels with Modi & Obama. People there also had sky high expectations and then major depression followed for those with irrational & unrealistic expectations. Too much hype.

For modi to bring change like he did in Gujurat, he needs the kind of mandate he had there. Is that really possible on a national level. Before any of this happens the BJP needs to actually win, which is an open question right now.

What will happen to Gujurat if Modi becomes PM. Why you want to lose him

 

[blr_p]

If we look at the performance of BJP in my state and compare with the expectations they were a disappointment.

Would like to advocate the political party record of my state for the rest of the country. That is..

Within the last ten years my state has kicked out three different parties. We went with different ones each time. Congress is back, they will stay if they deliver otherwise we will shop around for another. This seems like a good way to go in an era where regional parties are ascendant.

How many other states can claim the same ?

Are we happier, not necessarily but its optimal under the circumstances.

The only thing political parties fear most is regime change

Yes he can surely change many things. Becoz he has done his business studies and knows how to run the country well. The person who has changed Gujarat entirely, which was in a long debt to the world bank has paid off all the dues and done an advance payment also to the world bank. Now I don't think for the next 50-100 yrs Gujarat can be in any debts.

2nd thing he has made people to talk abt gujarat which people use to not speak about at any point of time. Now everyone talks about the looks of that part of the country and everything. That one person made everything possible to change. He says that he will eat the money but he also states that he will do so by making the country developed becoz devloped country can generate more and more profits.

Also he states that he can bring India to #1 position. Y we have to depend on America all the time becoz all other countries depend on India to generate their income. So we can bring India to # 1 position entirely and make it strong no matter whatever happens. He wants to increase the military strength and everything. The companies that he has been talking to and the various ways to develop gujarat entirely is more sophisticated. The roads and everything that he has developed in past so many years is remarkable.
I just wanna say one thing if we young youth do not choose this right person now then our next upcoming generation wont be able to see the light of the day. Either they would be sleeping on the footpath or get killed by any wrong action. So we need to select this person because he has proven himself a lot better then Congress.

Its too early for the 'youth' for the coming election. Their time & effect will become more significant in 2019.

You sound like the typical Modi drone. Vote Modi and India will be rid of all its problems.

 

[vivek.krishnan]

The actual solution is to get more young people into the political arena. These should not be crooks or people who are entering to make money - at least not too much money. They want to do so to improve the nation.

ROFL, don't be so gullible! The World Bank isn't that sort of bank where you can make a deposit. In any case, if there's so much money, why is a new loan being requested? : http://www.worldbank.org/projects/P114827/gujarat-state-highway-project-ii?lang=en&tab=overview

^^Expect more and more such spam emails/smses/calls from all parties as we near elections. My personal opinion is that nothing worse can happen to India and Modi should be given a chance at least. People have to be realistic with their expectations though. Having said that any progress or improvement is better than the current state of utter mis-governance.

Indian banks will not loan to govt entities for some reason. Not profitable enough (?)

If you notice from a few years ago, e-governance became important. Well, one of the conditions of a world bank loan is to encourage e-governance. The world bank is the only entity that state or municipal orgs can turn to.

 

[abhishek2600]

For me the question even bigger is "will we be able to get rid of Congress ?"

--------------

And for Modi i too have the same opinion that he should be given a chance as there is no promising third-front in picture and he can't be as dumb as Mannu.

 

[malhotraraul]

No.

Explain ???
