Narendra Modi is India’s 14th prime minister and has been in power since May 2014. He is the first prime minister to have been born after Independence. Modi is a leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and has served as Gujarat Chief Minister from 2001 to 2014. His Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi, though, is in Uttar Pradesh, and Modi has represented this seat since 2014.
Narendra Modi joined the RSS, the BJP’s ideological parent, in the 1970s and joined the BJP in 1987. The following year he was chosen as the party’s general secretary for Gujarat. Modi took oath as Gujarat CM in 2001, after replacing Keshubhai Patel, who was held responsible for the government’s poor response to the Bhuj earthquake. Modi contested his first-ever election in 2002, shortly after which the Gujarat riots fueled controversy over his leadership. The Supreme Court in 2022 gave a clean chit to Modi and 63 others in a plea exploring a larger conspiracy behind the riots.
This period also saw unprecedented global crises such as COVID lockdowns, world wars and economic crises due to supply chain disruptions. If he compares it to normal times , he’s just another piddi like rogue rahim rajan, not an economist from any angle!
Is he aware of the economic scenario during the three year Covid disaster and its effect on the economy? Or is it that he overlooked everything to picturise a prejudiced and one sided story, to prove his loyalit
Sir you must have explained the mess created by UPA2 in banking and industrial sector. Modiji government has cleared twin balance sheet problem and brought Insolvency code. Indecisiveness in policies by UPA had effect on infrastructure and industrial development.
Yes demonetization had adverse effect on MSMEs and unorganised sector but it had galvanised digitalization of economy especially in fin tech space. Overall Direct tax collection had improved and GST plus direct tax collection reached 11% of GDP. These things will take India forward next comming decade.
The lingering effects of Demonetisation and Covid have contributed to this sag in growth. May a blueprint be drawn up for the third term, including much needed structural reforms.
