need for trust

There has been mixed reactions to Modi's extensive trips abroad,one that of domestic neglect and the other of enhancing the nation's image at trans national level.The PM has much to thank the UPA that had the policy framework laid out for him,as he had to change very little of it.Modi is a pragmatist to the core .Realising that our economy Is largely predicated on global recovery,he left the domestic chores to his ministers and is using the freedom and time thereof to mould and fine tune our external relations.This would prove handy when the economy recovers and all it would require is the tying up of loose ends,here and there to boost trade and our own exports.Modi must now find a way to anoint a strong No 2in the cabinet to take care of needless ideological diversions from the parivar and monitor progress of reforms.For that he has to learn the great value that trust can bring in.
