Narendra Modi 3.0

 Well we are at the eve of vote counting for a country which happens to be the biggest democratic country in the world. It's an open secret that who is going to win as I have pointed out earlier and the only question is what is the margin in which Narendra Modi is gonna win. I would call this as his "Sign off" term from mainstream politics as he is already 78+ and the next five years is very crucial for India to emerge as one of the major superpowers in the world. For me the best part is when Narendra Modi said it pains his heart not to see a good opposition and also when he said stock programmers will have a tiring day on June 04 seeing the rally. This for me is ATTITUDE and just loved it when it came from your Prime Minister. I would like to talk about quite a lot of things in this blog as I just don't want to reiterate what's already been told in media. 

We all know USA, European Union and China are considered to be super powers in the world. India which is one of the fastest growing economies is emerging as a superpower due to its economic growth, demographic population and rapidly expanding military activities. India's GDP currently is around 4.150 trillion dollars better than UK (3.5$ trillion) and France (3.1$ trillion). When Modi took over as PM, India was at 10th spot from Economy perspective but today at 2024 India is at 5th position thereby pushing Canada, Russia, Italy, France and Britain. By 2027 at this pace India may overtake Japan and Germany and become the 3rd largest economy in the world. SENSEX was at 25000 when Modi took over in 2014 and now SENSEX is at 75000. Indian stock market overtook Hong kong to become fourth largest exchange in the world. India had 3 crore Retail DEMAT accounts in 2013 but now in 2024 count went upto 15.1 crore DEMAT accounts which clearly shows people are willing to invest in Indian companies. India's average GDP growth rate is 6.5 to 7% and inflation is kept under control. 

Due to its population India has a big advantage as far as demographic population is concerned. More than 50% of India's population is below the age of 25 and 60% of its population below the age of 35 which gives itself a huge advantage to tap into the enormous potential of Youth force. As far as Infrastructure improvements are concerened India has taken a giant leap on the roads, Railways, ports and airports. India's real estate has grown leaps and bounds and India's under construction projects outnumbers any other's country. Some of the mega Infrastructure projects in the pipeline are Delhi-Mumbai Industrial corridor, Bharatmala project (140 billion dollars), Delhi-Mumbai expressway (cost 100 billion), Narmada valley development project, Defence corridor project, Ganga Expressway, Sagarmala (130 billion dollars) to improve port connectivity and thereby improve maritime trade, Mumbai coastal road, 100 smart cities at 100 billion dollars. India's military expenditure is fouth largest in the world and is rapidly expanding on Nuclear force. India is also rapidly Industrializing by becoming a Manufacturing hub. After China, India is the second favorite destination for the world as far as Manufacturing is concerned due to its skilled labor force. King maker Modi has promoted Industrialization by introducing many scehemes, attracting foreign investors and fully supporting manufacturing activities. India is the best in the world when it comes to startup ecosystem as in 2014 we had only 400 startups but now at 2024 we have around 90000+ startups purely because of the push from Central government. 

Now let me stop talking on numbers and let's get into basics ....As a Consultant I have been to almost 30 airports across length and breadth of US and have been to quite a few airports now in India too and I see Indian airports are on par with US airports. To get my son's passport through expedited manner I had to wait for 10 days and also spend 150$ in USA but here in India I get passport in 48 hours (Thanks to TCS for handling the entire Passport services). Had you invested a piece of land in India way back in 2000's then that must have grown 10X (10 times atleast); One share of Dr.Reddy's in the year 2000 was around 300 rupees and now its around 6000 rupees. Connectivity of roads, Railway trips and coming up of new Airports has changed drastically over the past decade. 

2024 to 2029 is vital as India is marching towards bigger goals. We need a leader ..India needs a visionary ..India needs a human being who can walk the talk ..We need Narendra Modi ....The number of Interviews he has given to media in the last few months is unbelievable and would challenge SRK for his movie promotions. In Dindigul there is a famous biriyani place called Venu and Viswas but unfortunately both the shops didn't brand themselves but whereas Thalapakatty has branded as a Biriyani restaurant and whole world knows Thalapakatty now. Similarly Modi is a marketing legend and a big brand ...He has definitely gone out of the way campaigning for his party - unbelievable 206 rallies and 80 interviews to Media across the country. Remember he doesn't have a child nor a family and though people criticize that he is enacting a drahma all I would ask the critics is "why can't other people enact drahma like him"? Rahul Gandhi gave one interview so far and where was Sonia Gandhi before elections ? By the way did Congress inform their PM candidate ? Do they have one ? 

Its pathetic that Tamil Nadu once again will come under the control of dravidian party - this is similar to a snake without teeth. The same old governor issue, centre-state rift will continue which will be advantage to neighboring states like Karnataka and Andhra. I hope BJP secures atleast three seats if not five in Tamil Nadu. Just beccause I support Modi it doesn't mean I want BJP to win 400 seats, for democracy to prevail we need good opposition and for good opposition there has to be good number of MP seats for opposition parties too. This will enable a level headed ground for the house to perform debates rather than being one sided affair. 

Tomorrow my personal checklist is as follows:

1) BJP's vote percentage in Tamil Nadu - is it 20% or more

2) K.Annamalai & Tejasvi Surya - how did it go for these young guns in BJP

3) Exit poll predictions for West Bengal is pretty close contest ....Didi vs NaMo? 


Stage is all set for India to be saffronized ......Narendra Modi 3.0 in few hours from now ....
