New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI) : As an election campaigner, Narendra Modi promised sweeping market reforms to revive India's economy and put the country to work. As prime minister, he has dismayed admirers with his performance, apparently reverting to the script of the hapless UPA government he defeated.
To some of the economists and business leaders who as his campaign cheerleaders dared to dream of a Thatcherite revolution, he seems not to be listening. Three months after his win, it is dawning on them that their views count for little.
"As of now, the momentum is lost. They might still recover it, but we have lost the moment," said Bibek Debroy, a prominent economist who co-wrote a book laying out a reform agenda that the new prime minister himself launched in June.
Debroy said that so far there had been no signs of the promised change at institutions sapped by graft and over-regulation that many Indians have grown to revile.
Back in the heady days of the election campaign, Modi and his supporters seemed much more in tune, all lambasting the last centre-left government for years of waste and policy paralysis and building expectations of a regime of "minimum government and maximum governance" that would unshackle key sectors of the economy from the state.
But now there is a sense that the 63-year-old Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongman, who made his reputation putting his home state Gujarat on a high growth path, has somehow stumbled in New Delhi.
To be fair, the government has a five-year term to achieve Modi's goal of transforming India into an economic and military power able to withstand the rise of China on its doorstep.
On Friday, Modi will make his first Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort in Old Delhi, and the expectation within his party is that he may use the occasion to announce bold changes that have so far been absent.
According to economists at HSBC, the government has already moved with "unaccustomed alacrity" on a number of fronts, such as opening up the state railways to foreign investment and providing new guidelines for a more streamlined bureaucracy.
"But the stuff that will lift economic growth over time ... requires deft and delicate handling," they said this week, noting resistance to reform from the country's states and the challenges of pushing legislation through the upper house of parliament, where the BJP does not have a majority.

Thu, Aug 14 20141) Everyday there are reports gun-fire exchange in border between pak and India. This used to happen earlier when UPA was in power too, but then BJP had all solutions and making big noises in the streets and in media. Today, BJP seems more like a police constable with a old rifle and asked to do centry duty. Look this side and that side and duck your head. Is there any difference between UPA and NDA? No.
So, BJP was lying of their ability to solve problem.
2) UPA was in power, BJP was teasing it on the price rise. Today, the prices are risen much higher. Again constable.
3) Rs. was hitting 60 against dollar and BJP was screeming, calling incapbable govt. Even their election advt in banners showed Rs. will be at 40 under Modi. Today it is going much further. Again a constable.
Give BJP the time. This is the call from so called supporters.
Giving time is a criminal offense, India gave time to congress to bring down corruption. But, they asked for time again and again. India gave, but it failed. Demanding answers and giving no time makes the politicians work, as an Indian this must be our pledge for independence day.

I am not taking sides. My view point is the least he and his government could do to control the "Rising Food Prices" (All that they need to do is justification ...the least..."Roti" followed by Kapda Aur Makaan... later) to the people of this country who have lost faith in congress led UPA government and reposed faith in Mr. Modi's BJP.
Hope you agree. Else you disagree. Ours is a Democracy dear and not an "Autocracy" which we see from last few months!!!
The "Humble Chaiwala" is hiding from the media for their questions now....
Forget bringing back Black Money,taking Strict Action for beheading our Jawans, Indian rupee to bounce back 40 against a dollar!!! (which will never happen in Mr. Modi's life span!!!) and the list goes on and on...No doubt he is a "Great Orator" and a "State(stage) Actor" too(...if possible he can qualify for some Padma Shree award!!)...but when it comes to deliver, he is just giving lame excuses like a "Chaiwala"!!!

modi never lost in any elections and never have the habbit of telling silly reasons for the failure.the upcoming assembly elections of maharastra,uttarkand,haryana,jharkand,j&k and bihar will be the mirror for the peoples trust in him.

Doesn't Mr. Modi, the current P.M of our country "Deserve the Same Yardstick" now!!!....because he fooled the Indian Voters by promising them the "Moon"!!! before the General Elections.
Why Mr. Modi and his Team failed now to control the food inflation???
Keep aside all other promises given. That anyway people of this country will ask him in the next five years (Acche Din.... not for the citizens of this country...only for the BJP Core Team and for their Ministers!!!)

Wed, Aug 13 2014Based on the positive performance in Gujarat, Mr. Modi became an instant national hit and hero but the electorate had no idea that Gujarat is totally different than India.
Mr. Modi has clearly indicated that the bitter pills swallowing would be the first steps in treatment, then only the sweet pills can be swallowed.
Now he is doing the perfect and precise house cleaning through putting his very loyal people in every place.
Optimism is very important in our personal life but hyper optimism in the leader of a nation as if he or she is another deity to do miracles will be a misguided unrealistic anticipation.
Less than 80 billionaires, and less than 9000 people with more than $ 30 million asset, and a few thousand millionaires will not make much difference in a country like India with 33% of the population (400 million) living with less than $ 1.25/day. Then go to the next level, the lower-middle-upper class middle class.
See the number of college graduates unemployed? If those people voted for Mr. Modi expecting some supernatural miracles, simply wait patiently.
He may have all the good intentions but the challenge is too huge.
Now the world economy is showing clear-cut signals of heading towards another serious slow down. Bloodshed in Iraq-Libya-Ukraine-Israel etc make the situation far bewildering. All these things will be affecting India, especially as an emerging nation.
The whole world is caught up in a cesspool of economic and social problems on the other hand plagued with natural calamities.
Let us wait and see with optimism!

Forget paid or unpaid survey, just look at the commenter’s pre-May & Post May. The only Modi haters are the same people who before elections also hated Modi anyways and continuing to do so. Infact some have refrained form coming out after May 16th. Look at Modi fans , they have only increased with time. That’s the proof. Those who dint vote for Modi will anyways not vote for him in future also and Modi does nto need their support anyways. There are lot of nationalist in India who want India to propher under the able leadership of Sri Narendra Modi. After Chapathi politics dint work out communally for congress they are out now with survey or reports in their controlled media as they are trying to save some face in Upcoming Maharashtra elections, that’s all trying to defame Modi. The show will go on anyways as we have peoples mandate. Grapes will be sour for haters.

Modi's election promises have become yardsticks to gauge his performance.
In Gujarat, if he was voted to power continuously for performance, then it is same logic Congress was voted to power for the last 65 years for their was no alternative in performance.

Wed, Aug 13 2014I had warned this would happen.
The release last month of the Human Development Index, which showed that countries like Bangladesh, Cambodia and Palestine are making more rapid progress than India on yardsticks like the number of years children spend in school and infant mortality is humbling. Life expectancy in Bangladesh is now up to 70.7 India’s is 66.4 years.
Their kids spend almost a year longer in school than the 4.4 years on average that Indian children do. Cambodia’s life expectancy is 71.9 and the average number of years in school is 5.8.
In the 1970s, Cambodia under Pol Pot’s reign of terror and Bangladesh at the time of its independence were widely regarded as basket cases. What does it say about India’s governance that they have surpassed us on many indicators of health and well-being ...

Thu, Aug 14 2014Jossey i think this is your longest comment ever but i never saw such a detailed comment in the last 10 years while the congress was still in Power. So how do you expect to see rose gardens in 2-3 months? Modi Might be a killer, Modi might be a feku or Modi might be manipulative. End of the day he’s been elected as the prime minister of this Nation with a very clear mandate. Are you trying to compare India with Bangaldesh, Combodia based on 3 months rule by the BJP Government? How can you even relate life expectancy to this BJP Govt.? Everyone has his right to voice his or her opinion and please do not claim that you had warned all you did was picked up an article from business standard by Rahul Jacob and copy pasted the same out here. Good Job Mr.

Wed, Aug 13 2014@ Peddu , Rajesha and all other bhakts -
1) bjPEEE criticized MMS for becoming PM through Rajya sabha but you seem to be fine if Arun Jaitly is made FM and Defense minister after losing elections and coming through Rajya Sabha... BTW, what hapenned to announcing a separate Defense Minister within 2 weeks???
2) Out great HRD minister - not only lost elections, forged her affidavits and claims she got a degree from Yale in 6 days.
3) Bjpeee's promised price reduction and gave us Price increase, petrol increase, rail fare increase.
4) Before elections the great orator used to tease MMS for his silence.... sad to see that he has become 'Chupendra' after elections.
5) Who can forget his rants every time there was border firing and now when soldiers are been killed by Pakis, his 56" has shrinks to 5.6" and is busy exchanging sarees and shawls.
6)He never even spoke when China distributed maps showing Indian territory as part of China and when they entered our territory illegally several times.
In one word...FAILURE!!

Wed, Aug 13 2014This news may please only those anti modi fans to continue their rant. I am a die hard modi fan and very optimistic of our countries progress under his able leadership. We are living in a secure India which was not since a decade. I hope many or all modi fans of Daiji feel the same.
It's really funny loosers are comparing a 3 month performance of a new govt to decades or loot and plunder of Indian resources.

Wed, Aug 13 2014Yes,so far so bad and as said by Congress President that Modi is stealing policy and programs of UPA!!!How can change face of economy in independence address ?He was not serious during budgetary session or budgetary allocations or bold changes!
In a light vain
Adhar would be scrapped if voted to power-Modi but restored with more budgetary allocations!!!!
Centre's UDYOGA KHARI YOJANA would scrapped But with more resources the project UPA still making sounds!!!
Pak taught costly lesson to stop cross boarder terrorism but Modi fed Biriyani and Sherif given away saree for the food.There are 25 serious ceasefire Violations which made loose several soldiers and MODI issues finally statement!!!
Totally Modi's team is inexperienced and they are copying good things of UPA and some ministers just issuing statement for their DEGREE CERTIFICATES AND another one minister accused of rape charges
Atrocities against women rose to all time high as Madya Pradesh stands first and karnataka stands 4th in India.
There are no bold steps to bring economy in to tracks and almost on the economic front,it is like UPA 3!!!
