“Good governance” is an accolade that the BJP government has given to itself, both at the centre and in states. Citizens or media have not given them this certificate. Ayub Khan gave himself the designation of Field Marshal. Every man wants to be called “big hearted” no matter how petty he is in reality; every administrator claims he is offering good governance no matter how chaotic his rule is in reality.
Many “firsts” have been achieved by BJP administrators. In this Bulandshehar case, mob takes out country-made revolvers and shoots at the Police and kills a police inspector !!
