Modi 2.0 Should Focus On Economic Revival Of The Indian Economy

The election results this time round will be remembered for a ‘khaki’ campaign in which Modi and his supporters dominated by convincing the Indian society that an alert chowkidar can keep the country safe from terrorists, anti-nationals, and infiltrators.

A deliberately engineered social phenomenon dominated the political and economic issues in the run-up to the Indian parliamentary elections. Amicable withdrawal of the RSS from social media and politics (almost six months prior to the elections), consolidation of caste and religion based vote banks, fracturing the Muslim mandate and the much propagated protection of the country from anti-national forces secured a berth for BJP at the centre for the second time.

But now when the BJP-led NDA is in power, it must change the course of economic policies so that India becomes a global economic powerhouse. There are certain pressing concerns which need to be addressed immediately.
