Reclaiming a PM

Three months into this new government,no holistic picture emerges on our political dispensation. The pattern is uneven and many ends stay loose. On the one hand Modi's party and Parivar seem to be driving non-growth linked agenda ,be it  Art 370,slant in  Education policies,LOP ,judicial appointments ,independently and on their own steam. As the PM stays  quiet through all this they  can come under the notion  that Modi has been commissioned by them for the exclusive and  limited purpose of  delivering on growth that would yield high  dividends in 2019.
     On the other hand , Modi perhaps  in his primary zeal for avant garde governance for growth , has decided to don the suit of CEO India Inc.,keeping  the PM's wear in the closet. Modi's penchant of operating through the bureaucracy rather than his ministers, is a double edged sword.His  Secretarys to GOI  seem to be eager to compress time without factoring in larger socio-political aspects that need to be sieved through by experienced minister- politicians.That filter is seemingly getting bypassed. 
         In both cases ,an  impression  that others could over time succeed in wielding the PM and not the other way around , could soon  gain ground. And worse,the lack of opposition numbers  removes one more check on both policy and execution  The nation will do well to quickly reclaim Modi ,its elected PM.
