5 Reasons why Modi is successful prime minister.

Right now, Narendra Modi is the best choice for PM for India because of the simple 5 fact given below and also that there is no other candidate who can match the stature of Modi or who commands as much respect and love from the people of India as much as him. People believe in him and his development promises. 

1. Modi has a vision for India and the courage to take risks for future gains.

The first and foremost task of a great board and its great CEO is to build a strategic plan for the organisation. A good board aims at future growth that may appear impossible to achieve for ordinary men and women. But a thinking board knows that what may look impossible may be achieved by a great CEO with a winning team.

The great company, ITC Limited, has a strategic plan to reach Rs 1 trillion in revenue from its non-cigarette business by 2030. And this plan was announced by ITC in 2017.

Narendra Modi is the first prime minister to announce a plan for India of 2022, and has spelt out an eight-point development model.

He never talks about vision 2019 (the year of the next general election), but always emphasises long-term plans.

His mission for housing for the poor is named, 'Housing for all by 2022'.

His 'Make India open defecation free by 2019' mission was made after he became prime minister, and this shows his commitment to planning and announcing the definitive date of achievement of those plans. This makes his ambitious plans open for public and media scrutiny.

When was the last time we heard a prime minister of our country set a target dates for his government's missions so boldly and confidently?

Just as a great CEO is open to taking risks to achieve long term gains, Modi took the biggest risk of enforcing demonetisation in November 2016. His action was criticised as organised loot and plunder by former PM Manmohan Singh.

While it is clear that the electorate has fully backed up PM Modi's demonetisation, the jury is still out on its overall impact on the medium-term economy. But the poor and middle class sections have voted for Modi's bold move.

A Delhi school teacher -- an intransigent critic of the BJP who says he suffered during demonetisation, and yet he applauds Modi for the move -- told me, "It is crystal clear that post demonetisation, the realty sector has fallen considerably and made buying of homes affordable to many, many Indians."

"The realty sector is the main melting pot where the unaccounted money gets amalgamated in the mainstream economy," the teacher pointed out. "A big hit to this sector clearly means that the corrupt are finding it hard to safeguard their ill-gotten cash."

Another bold step taken by Modi was to insist upon linking Aadhar and PAN cards with bank accounts.

The main objective is to keep a trail of all transactions and ensure that tax defaulters are identified and taxed appropriately.

This has perturbed people who don't want anything to interrupt their daily lives, yet it is only the politicians who are grunting about it.

The people at large are taking these interruptions in their stride and this is evident in the election victories of the ruling party.

2. Narendra Modi is the biggest reformist CEO-PM India has had.

From being a vociferous opponent of the goods and services tax when he was Gujarat CM, PM Modi has successfully implemented GST across India.

There is no doubt it led to hardships to micro and small enterprises that were used to paying no taxes. But no one can deny that that GST is one of the biggest reforms to have been implemented in India in recent times.

The GST mechanism will ensure that most transactions are done using an invoice and this will help in establishing a trail of all transactions.

Modi faced tremendous opposition from the Opposition as well as from conservative groups in his own party and yet he streamrolled them all and implemented it.

The implementation is far from smooth, but the fact is that if one waits for the right magical moment to kick-start a reform process, the status quo will never be overcome.

It is evident in the electoral victory in Gujarat, in places like Surat that houses thousands of small businesses, that Modi has been able to successfully sell the idea of GST to India.

3. Narendra  Modi leads from the front and revels in challenges.

The PM hasn't taken a single day off yet and he maintains a punishing schedule for himself and his team.

Even though I am personally not very supportive of the idea of 'all-work-and-no-play', Modi understands that to achieve substantive results, he and his team may be a bit short on time.

He has motivated his team to push the Budget a month ahead of the usual last day of February.

He has also been trying to change the financial year that typically starts on April 1 and ends on March 31 to January 1 to December 31.

These are all breaks from tradition and he and his finance minister have taken it upon themselves to push for such changes, with or without building a consensus.

And Narendra Modi has been leading his party too from the front.

He has campaigned untiringly and ungrudgingly in all state assembly elections and is the single biggest factor in ensuring that his party won most elections in recent times.

The electorate of India is much in awe of their CEO who personally contributes to the cause of the nation's development.

4. Narendra Modi takes full responsibility for his government.

Readers may recall that then prime minister Manmohan Singh sought to lay blame on the acts of commissions and omissions of his ministers at their doorstep. He often referred to coalition compulsions and stuff like that, but Modi makes no such excuses.

He doesn't leave his defence minister to handle the Doklam issue alone. He gets actively involved in matters of the nation's security.

Similarly, he didn't leave his finance minister to fight the bad press and negative sentiments by himself after he announced demonetisation.

He took full responsibility and spoke to the people himself, even shedding tears in his public address, telling the people that he had put his own reputation as a doer on the line and that he was determined to sort out all issues.

5. Narendra Modi fully knows what the shareholders of India want and has a clear vision of it.

He knows that his electorate isn't bothered about GDP growth. In fact, he is fully aware that most of them don't even know what GDP is.

And he knows that a poverty-stricken lactating mother's eyes will light up if she gets an allowance of Rs 6,000 from the pregnancy aid scheme that was passed by the Union Cabinet last year.

GDP, its growth and its implications have no meaning for any of the 3.2 crores households who received a free LPG connection under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana.

A CEO is successful if he is able to retain the confidence of his shareholders. And the shareholders of India Inc have backed their prime minister-CEO to the hilt.

The five points that I mentioned clearly prove that Narendra D Modi is the CEO who the MPs will continue to choose and the electorate would continue to vote for.

If he were the CEO of a corporate entity, he would have continued to enjoy the full confidence of all the stakeholders.
