Modi too is back...



Modi too is back. He is back into power in Gujarat as its Chief Minister for the third time. A clean sweep for the BJP, and he is the Gujarat CM for the third time. His next target must be to beat Jyoti Basu’s record of the longest serving CM.
So what is that makes Modi tick, with lots of controversies and talks about him (though this is common for any politician)? Looking into the news for the past few months, it seems Gujarat has shown exceptional growth, with a GDP higher than the national average. Modi is considered to be a smooth talker. Recently during the chief minister’s meeting, Prim Minister had stressed out not to read from the report that was prepared. Modi had immediately prepared a power point slide show about the developments that has taken place in Gujarat. This reminds more of Chandrababu Naidu the IT savy Chief Minister.
Modi might have done a lot to Gujarat and for its development. But he has surely missed out on one thing, the Ahmedabad railway station. Recently I had a chance to visit Ahmedabad, and the railway station was in a pathetic condition. Being the entry point for me into Gujarat, it was not a welcome scene. Gandhinagar may be a developed and a planned city, but that cannot be a reason for neglecting Ahmedabad, which is so close to it. May Modi take up this work as an agenda during his third year stint as CM. This may not be a high priority thing, but still doing that will not cause any harm.
