Modi’s Cabinet Is Doing A Lot Of Good Work, best answer to Critic's

When Narendra Modi stormed into power in 2014 by winning Lok Sabha election with a massive mandate, he delivered a strong message: “We are not here for any positions but for a responsibility”. Though some may say that the Modi Sarkar has failed to deliver on what it has promised, there are few things that are hard to ignore even by his strongest critics and opponents: like his style of governing has resulted in more foreign direct investment, improved global relations, removal of bottle-necks for doing business, corruption free governance, direct subsidy payments, coal and telecom auctions, and much more. In the wake of recent spate of events, including the rising intolerance debate and the Opposition calling the Centre an all talks and no action government, take a look at below examples that show how Modi’s ministers are fairing: Piyush Goyal, Minister of State with Independent Charge for Power, Coal, New, and Renewable Energy thehindu He recently launche...

'Rupee in ICU, why did Tamils send Chidambaram to Delhi,' asks Narendra Modi in Chennai

Narendra Modi, who was delivering the Nani Palkhiwala memorial lecture in Chennai on Friday evening, did not take very long to get into election mode, ripping once again into the UPA government and particularly targeting the Prime Minister and select ministers. Without a strong economy, he said, the world would not "get attracted" to India. "Today our rupee is in ICU, I don't know why Tamil people sent this person to Delhi," referring to Finance Minister P Chidambaram, who belongs to Tamil Nadu and is also a Lok Sabha MP from the state. The BJP's presumptive prime minister also launched a sharp attack on the Centre's foreign policy. He said the government was making a mockery of itself with its handling of relations with Pakistan and China, drawing context from the launch of a book by Arun Shourie on India's relationship with China.

Even as the Gujarat Chief Minister goes about promoting the NaMo brand in his own way, the party's cadres have resorted to some very innovative methods to promote brand NaMo.
