Good lawyer, but is in sixes and sevens as far as managing the economy is concerned. Raghuram Rajan saved the blushes for him in the last two years.

In critical conditions he should perform then only we can say he is the performer. he failed as he could not use the crude price slump to his favour. Even he did not give to the public of the reduction in the crude prices Instead he raised the excise duty.

Among Narendra Modis bhakts,

one large segment just cannot understand why there has to be so much focus in the media about economics, economy, policies, equity, subsidy, incentive, agriculture, droughts, farm credit, banking, public education, public healthcare, PDS, rural distress......................

All they know or care about is hyndu..........muxlim..........chrittin...........hyndu.............*development* (what exactly it is is not thought about)............hyndu..........muxlim......*development*......hyndu................muxlim...

Another segment (a much smaller one) of his bhakts truly believe in their hearts that Narendra Modi caused cataclysmic changes in the Indian economy immediately after assuming power and is now well on the way already to making India a *superpower* (what exactly it means is of course not thought about). Among several feats, these bhakts also silently credit Modi for bringing down the world crude oil prices from 110 USD to just 28 USD in a span of just 19 months !

And what the silly Narendra Modi is doing now - by repudiating almost every one of the stances he took on the economy and economic policies in the first year of his PMship - is simply beyond the understanding of both these segments of bhakts !

The MNREGA as well as the National Food Security Act were paradigm changes introduced in the hitherto still feudal Indian economy by the Congress led UPA I solely at the behest and even coercion of the CPM led left front (which supported UPA I in an uneasy

and perpetually on-the-brink relationship for 4 years from 2004 to 2008).

And the left front later forced the UPA I to spread out (against fierce resistance from the latter) the scope of the MNREGA from 200 districts to all the 600 districts in the country.

Thus, by now taking U-turns on his earlier stances on the MNREGA and the National Food Security Act (which were heralded by the left front), Modi is now actually endorsing the economic policies of the left !!!

The left, besides the above named initiatives, also engineered the passing of the RTI act as well as substantial enhancement in budget allocations for the social sector during UPA I.

And it might not be long before Narendra Modi endorses these steps too (though he will of course be in no position at all to acknowledge the role of the left in them) !!

Now, what can the befuddled Modi bhakts think or say ??

Of course, the great majority among them are blissfully unaware of what changes in economic policies or direction can mean at all considering that all they know is hyndu......muxlim......hyndu.....chrittin.....hyndu.......and some distant and vague association they carry around in their minds between Modi and *development* and *superpower* !

But those few bhakts who get an inkling about Modis U-turns will be left non plussed, befuddled and beside themselves in incredulous amazement and despair !

There were big expectations from the BJP government from the common man. Nothing has happened so far. Railway fare increase, increase in service tax, lowering bank interest rates adversely affecting the older people with fixed income, rising prices of all essential commodities and similar other anti poor measures have all made people to think that the UPA was far better to the common man. For paying to the organised working class ie the central govt employees, the govt should not try to impose taxes on the people who are mostly unemployed and under employed with pitiable means to live.

NPA - Whose problem ?

NPA - Politicians-Civil Servants-Bankers-Businessmen Collusion is the making of NPA.
Businessmen does business with bank money and
all risk are passed to Bank finances. Their personal assets are not touched to recover NPAs to great extent. What happened to speedy recovery of NPAs, that too big ticket balances.
