My two cent advice for Modi and shah for 2019


The ruling political team of Modi and Shah are almost on a juggernaut with intermittent speed breaker like that of Delhi , Bihar and Ahmed Patel episode they have been able to gained more than was expected by all . The way politically things are moving in the country the rank and files of the opposition are also seeing not much future for their respective parties in the new disposition , be it opposition MLA/MLC's of UP/NE/GOA or JD(U)/AIADMK etc resigning and joining or the whole parties coming under the umbrella . There is general feeling among the politician ,at all level in the country , that currently BJP is the only party, pan india, to be associated if one needs to seen as one close to power . 'There is no permanent friend and foe" was never seen this clearly . I see this tide of politician joining BJP or becoming part of NDA will gain momentum . With karnataka and himchal most likely changing the colors in the upcoming election and tamil nadu ruling parties joining NDA ,the dream of BJP founders and the NAMO SHAH duo of complete dominance seems almost there . Never ever in my memory have I seen such a weak opposition without any firebrand leaders or any grass root connect.This is almost like dream run for NAMO & SHAH . 2019 could be a landmark election year for atleast congress , either they reinvent and emerge as phoenix or they will be totally decimated .The way they are acting , the phoenix type of scenario seems quite unlikely .

There is a general belief that 2019 is a foregone conclusion , but I strongly feel that "Savdhaani hatti ,Durghatna ghatti" . One can never be complacent , have seen the 2004 up close where everybody was under the impression that NDA is returning and even Congress also was not prepared for that mandate . Than also Atal Behari had a huge equity among the general electorate but it was the local representative who the electorate was unhappy with and voted against him .The opposition at that was also quite a divided lot with congress in power in very few states and specially no presence in the cow belt which returns maximum MP to the lok sabha ,still .There were other factors as well which contributed to the NDA losing against all odds . The electorate has been believing and showing their faith in NAMO and his squeaky clean image and tirade against corruption .
 Namo is perfectly supported by Shah in his proverbial "Ashmedh Yagya", One can draw a lot of analogies ,whether the chandragupta and chanakya team. A lot of major structural changes have been done on the economic and foreign policy front . The economy in general going through a tough phase , to put it mildly . I strongly feel the Government should now focus more on effective implementation of whatever changes have been made and the electorate start feeling that his life has become better . There have been a certain failed projects like 'Make in india' and 'Startup India' .
The structure of governance is such that the there is a division of power between state and centre so one single government cannot do much for effective implementation of any policy without the help of other .Health ,policing ,education , land reform etc are all under the purview of state government and these are some of the basic pain points for the common man .The political canvas of india is now covered with saffron with a slight patchwork of congress .Namo and team will have to now tighten the state government to effectively deliver on these areas . Namo and Shah will have to increase the bench strength of their team and take swift action so that there are measurable changes in next 21 months . The opposition can only raise the issue of unemployment , infrastructure , support prices of agricultural products ,lack of basic amenities like health/security/education to lure the bottom half of the electorate. Already incidences like gorakhpur will seriously dent the image of the government specially so in the case where you are ruling at state and centre.
The focus of team modi should now be on delivering on these front . Having said that these are issues which have been omni present since ages but elections were lost or won on rhetorics but lately there has been huge change in the demographics of the electorate . I strongly feel that rhetorics will be the icing on the cake but since it will be a vote of re-election than the NAMO will have to show some populist achievements as well on which BJP has been winning election after elections .
