| Modi's more hits than misses | | | | Prime Minister,Narendra Modi,who completed his two year in office on Thursday,has more of plus points than minus points.His has been an innings of misses and hits. At times he has scored sixes, one after the other, on the other occasion he has managed to save his wicket. In fact some people around him, those belonging to the BJP or the VHP, have tried to make is standing shaky but he has shown his guts to keep his wicket in tact. The Congress and other opposition parties bowled bouncers and tricky spinners but Modi saw to it that each bouncer was hit out of the fence.When two years ago President Pranab Mukherjee administered the oath of office to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Cabinet. The lavish ceremony was attended by Premiers of SAARC nations, several Chief Ministers, Opposition leaders, besides a host of celebrities, corporate honchos and religious heads. For the first time in 30 years, the BJP had come to power with an absolute majority and the swearing-in ceremony gave a hint that Team Modi was ready with a game-changing plan for the country. The first major problem that confronted the Modi led Government was linked with one of the biggest evacuation during the times of war, since the Gulf War I. MoS Gen. (Retd) V.K. Singh personally oversaw the operation. The External Affairs Minister headed by Sushma Swaraj earned laurels for helping the Indians living abroad, be it for rescuing Kerala nurses from war-torn Libya or bringing back differently-abled Geeta from Pakistan. The Jan Dhan Yojna is one of Modi's major achievement.Anyone can now open an account in a bank, thanks to this financial inclusion scheme. Barely a fortnight after the launch, the yojana entered the Guiness Book of World Records for the maximum number of accounts opened in a week. The scheme is a big boost in moving towards direct subsidy transfer.The LPG subsidy was initially started as a 'Give It Up' campaign, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry headed by Dharmendra Pradhan barred LPG subsidy to customers who earn more than Rs. 10 lakh per annum. The amount saved was used to give over five lakh new LPG connections to those who still use firewoods or kerosene stoves for cooking.A pet project of . Modi, sanitation ministry's Swachh Bharat mission got wide public support, especially on social media after celebrities joined the Clean India challenge. Not just stopping with cleaning the locality, the government has taken initiatives such as building more toilets, waste management and waste segregation. Real success, will however happen, when manual scavenging is completely eradicated.Relations with Bangladesh started improving in the face of India facing boundary disputes with every neighbour, with the land agreement which gave optimism that issues can be amicably solved over diplomacy. The people living in the enclaves that were recently annexed to India even exercised their franchise in the recently concluded West Bengal Assembly elections. Right from the day Modi took over he laid emphasis on improving relations with all countries,especially the neighbours. And his mission seemed to have failed as far as China and Pakistan are concerned. Yes, when Nepal was hit by a major earth quake India was in the forefront those nations that offered material assistance of diverse nature to Nepal. At that stage the ties between India and Nepal had assumed friendly dimensions. Anti-India protests flared up in Nepal after trade movements through the border were not allowed for many days. Nepal called it 'India's blockade' as it followed protests by Madhesis. All of these happened within a year of the Himalayan quake, when Nepal thanked India's help in rescue and rehabilitation. Also, India couldn't keep away Nepal from moving closer to China. Well the biggest achievement that Modi can claim is the gradul fulfillment of his mission "Make in India" and under this mission a number of foreign companies, including the Apple, have started investing in India. This is definitely going to improve economy of India as India may not have to depend on heavy imports of war machinery and other missiles. It will resolve the problem of unemployment. Modi has set a target for increasing power generation and the recent agreement with Iran is treated as the culmination of his success story during the last two years.However, his Government has not been able to fight natural calamities, especially drought and water shortage. Except for his failure to promote cordial ties with China and Pakistan Modi has succeeded in winning the heart of the US, the European nations and Russia. That should make up for his failure to check crime in the country. |
