Deshwala Sahab,
UPA=II had a policy paralysis and decisions on large number of defense and other projects were not taken. Modi took over with a massive pending inventory of things to do. Common sense will dictate that anyone should prioritize under such circumstances. This is exactly he has been doing.
1. Modi govt cleared large number of defense projects which were gathering dust for years. For the first time US will be helping India to develop nuclear aircraft carriers.
2. Modi government has taken 100s of steps to improve railway. This sector requires massive FDI and he is trying to rope in many countries for the task. He has signed almost with every country for the investment in Indian Railways. He has spoken multiple times of making best use of Indian railway land. Did we ever hear of such initiative before him in last 67 years?
3. Major issue in farming sector is storage, irrigation and adequate pricing. He is acting with full force on first two for sure. Haven't we heard his call of " each drop, more crop" almost on every forum and during bilateral meetings with head of states. He is roping in many countries in his river-linkage project, which is vital for irrigation. It will be impractical to expect that the work on ground can be initiated within six months on such projects. It takes more than a year even to construct a three bed room house in India.
4. Who says land acquisition is anti-farmers ? Land acquisition bill remains almost same except the provision of social impact assessment. This portion of the act was the major reason of delays in infrastructure projects. My own land is being acquired for a road in Shamli and I can tell you for sure that not a single farmer is unhappy with the changes in the bill.
I agree with you that BJP need to control some their wide mouth MPs. However, don't expect Modi alone to waste his time on every silly stuff. Let party president handle that. I am to a large extent its being handled.
I agree fully that he should kick out some of these ministers.
I am sure we will see that happening during next reshuffling. Don't expect him to take head on with everyone at the same time. Political acumen demands that he should focus on his main job and ignore such side issues. Let the dogs bark and the cart move on.
He is managing neighborhood very well. We have a more friendly government in Sri Lanka and everyone knows that India played an important role in this. We have much better relations with Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar. Only problem is Pakistan and he is handling her fairly strongly. For the first time he made talks conditional that Pakistan either talk to Hurryat or Indian government. He is following his policy. Pakistan is in more internal turmoil after Modi came to power. I am sure Ajit Dowel is doing a great job to keep Pakis busy.
You may think that he got nothing in Australia. However, that is not the general thinking. He has developed much friendlier relations with Australia than any other Indian government in the past. Australia will be selling Uranium to India and will also join Quadrilateral defense pact in Indo-Pacific. Money spent on his US and and Australia visit is not even a fraction of what Obama spent on his India visit. Americans are not fools that they will be spending so much money on optics and hype. Obama is not a fool that he will give a ride to Modi to Martin Luther King memorial. Obama or any other US president has never done it to anyone.
Disclaimer: Neither I am a BJP supporter nor a blind Modi supporter.
