Losing direction

A Sehwag score of 282 was perhaps not so much because of the Modi charisma ,as his promise to a thorough  spring cleaning .The year did see some showcases dusted, but the nation is getting restive over growing bulges under the carpet .The dust is returning.. Systems are becoming bureaucracy -centric and  watch dog  institutions   toned down in an desperate attempt  to induce quick decision making. GoMs are now passe and Secretaries are in.But how effective could this be  in the backdrop of a stymied global economy.
         For a perceived spurt in implementation , the importance of ministers was being  lost sight of. To create a pro-poor image, after Opposition barrage ,these very ministers are now pressed into campaign mode, to counter  spreading public perception !.Inclusiveness remains the vital factor. 
        Major welfare schemes were pruned and an ordinance over Land bill was sought to be pushed through twice  but  an equal gumption is absent in bringing the curtain decisively down on investment sensitive issues like retrospective taxation or even in toning down discordant notes from  right wing of the orchestra. BJP is walking on unsteady socio-political  planks to reach growth.The UPA had done exactly  the reverse, much to their discomfiture.
