Modi ,the year one

An assessment of the first year in office of the BJP can not be a review of the entire canvas that today has a few bold splashes and many hesitant strokes.The loud theme of instant industrialisation it started with,stands faded and now one of empowering lower rungs of the economic ladder ,stroked with brighter hues has come into main frame.External relations that were in a silhouette till now ,got an extravagant Impressionist class. The second year may well see the enthusiasm for inclusiveness die down with a poor monsoon and the industry starved of funds and policy reforms,in continuation.Year three ,the Afghan -Pak muddle could peak and set before us an acid test of our extensive diplomatic bonhomie of year one pitted against raw global realpolitik of pure self interest of the players.The fourth year could see global economic recovery but our domestic industry may not be at the dining table as it would be battling three years of neglect.The fifth one will be the traditional year into elections when except campaigns,nothing moves. Today is the time for the BJP to step back from the canvas and conceive of a composite theme rather than yielding to attractive but transient subjects.BJP from within, must learn to place a sense of of collectiveness much above the present one of unitary command
