A proper mix

The Modi government is  on three main pillars,a powerful PM an all pervading PMO and a  president singularly focused on winning elections.In the exclusive pursuit of growth and  the three - centered load bearing dispensation we may see the role of ministers,bureaucrats and  party functionaries much reduced. Though this may  enable  macro objectives of the government  being achieved but   the " last mile delivery ", of the benefits of growth will need a host of animated delivery agents, be it the minister,babu or the party cog ,to reach it to the common man.Top driven governance and a demanding nine-to-five regimen may assist carrying out directives on select  objectives of the day, but may not spur  local level imagination,innovation and job pride that are essential to complete the benefit chain. UPA  with its cargo of generous  inclusiveness  could not find its  berth in 2014, as the Congress lacked a vibrant party apparatus  to deliver .BJP has managed a strong set up today but if its apex leadership  does not factor in complementary bottoms-up participation  under more open decision making environs,it could well face a similar fate in 2019.
