Modiji – Maestro of Promise or Vicar of Performance

Can anyone on earth continue to ride high and sow and reap profit just by sowing promise, selling dreams and all imaginary fallacies? If any one have doubt, must reflect the performance of the present government, it has been successfully selling more fiction than facts and have been achieving business success until Sachin Pilot of congress show the mirror to the government and tell to the people of India to lend their mind, heart, and eyes to reality & truth and not to contract their ears to all that fictions.

At the individual level, what difference the average Indian has gained or achieved after Modiji has become Prime Minister of India, no one in India would say they have significantly benefited anything worth remembering? 3 ½ of talk, the people have been hearing but the Modiji’s regime is ironically doing only talking.

People of India hoped that demonetization would transform our economy to the state of art economy and that is how the rhetoric of Modiji has spread across India. Believing such transformation and dreaming of such India, most of the people especially the salaried class stood with the government and unfortunately even after 3 ½ years nothing has changed at ground zero.

When people seriously ask these questions, the reply comes from the present government in the form of another great promise called - Modicare. Everybody really lauds the initiatives but the explanations given by the Government when the question of from where the government would source the fund for such mega project is quite amusing. The answer was that not all the families would fall ill simultaneously, the premium would be paid by the respective states, in the process the government will find resource etc., had made the budget to look more as political stunt and promise than it is meant for business.

The vision of the government is good, but the fear of the people is that like all the promises like demonetization would transform Indian economy, GST would improve ease of business, ache din, sab ka sath sab ka vikas, whether Modicare also would vanish.

If the government asserts that hereafter all the funds allocated for procuring and free supply of various AYUSH products through primary health centres in different states will be allocated for Modicare would make better sense. If the government clears the doubt by making its commitment to Modicare that it would progressively reduce the fund allocation to AYUSH research and such fund would directed to the mega project of health protection, would sound convincing and achievable as well the such mission would also slowly erase the faith based practices entering into our health care system as medical science. Instead it can promoted as paramedical practice.

Similarly when the government is blamed for not meeting the expectations of the salaried class, instead of admitting its inability to do so due to the possible fiscal deficit, it had irritated and earned the wrath of the salaried class by making irresponsible statement that the government has already done enough to the salaried class. Such statement clearly signals that the salaried middle income group shall not harp any hope on the government hereafter and instead they must thank the government for not imposing new tax; such possibility in near future cannot be ruled out.

The question is how long Modiji can continue his voyage of promises and how many more promises he has in his stock?

But people are tired. India, for the first time is going to see the defeat of promise as the present government looks like slipping from poor performance to no performance and appears to ride on various promises.
