Narendra Damodardas Modi, the most powerful man in India is also the most loved man & equally hated by some others. By any mean, no one can ignore his persona. Highlighted when he was the Chief Minister of Gujrat in 2002, to 2020, the Prime Minister of India, he faced a lot of allegations, charges, enquiries, faced number of protests and so on. But over the period of time he proved ‘tough times create tough men’. His RSS background gives him the clarity for his life aims. The best & for some others, the worst character in Mr. Modi is that he is clear about his religious faith & even life aims - the Hinduism and the motherland respectively. He is clear & he never hides his faith in front of people. This makes him far distinguish from the rest of the politicians.

In 2014, The Namo Year, when he became the Prime Minister of India for the first time, gave people a hope ‘Acche Din Aane Wale Hain’ (Good days are about to come). Traditional & Social media creates the brand image called ‘the Modi effect’, based on which his political party, the Bhartiya Janata Party won many state & bye – elections afterwards. People started loving his ideas, following his ideology, becoming fan of his speeches, enjoying the way he target his oppositions, agreeing his hardcore policies against Pakistan and many of hardcore followers were today known as ‘Bhakts’ (devotees).

 Well, so far so good but as the time passes, he faced challenges on economic fronts. The Drastic slow down for Indian economy was seen since the ‘once in a life time incident’, the demonetization.  Afterwards, the desirable GST was also not so fruitful yet. Although the idea behind GST was excellent but the old school bureaucracy, their unresolved grievances, more expectation in less time, and the whole design of GST itself was & yet, is creating hindrance on achieving Government’s goal. His million dollar dream of smart cities is still on papers & the puzzles of Gujrat model development are still unsolved. Although, many other schemes like Ujjwala Yojana, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Digitial India Mission, Swachh Bharat Mission etc are performing well & are appreciable but again Make in India, Skill India Mission, Stand up India are low performing assets. In short, the income sources are not widening & where he wants to spend the taxes, he is doing quite well.

Talking about the foreign & defence policies under his guidance, India is doing far better than any of the past governments. Containing China is his priority and bashing Pakistan on every forum is his art. Whether you talk about creating regional cooperation with SAARC countries (obviously except Pakistan), or creating historical relations with the United States, his office is doing five star job. Isolation of Pakistan, tying mouth watering business relations with gulf countries, solving border issues with Bangladesh, Surgrical strike, Balakot strike, zero tolerance to terrorism, strengthening army like never before, guts to create brotherhood relations with Israel, are just the tip of iceberg. A lot & lot of back channel diplomacy is done on every single minute by his team, which was earlier guided by Late Smt. Sushma Swaraj & now Sh. Subrahmaniam Jaishankar both along with the master of defence, the National Security Advior Sh. Ajit Kumar Doval.

Before concluding, his short but crucial second term is essential to talk. He overnight abrogates the Article 370, revoke the special status of Jammu & Kashmir and making it a Union Territory are like dream come true and a return gift from Modi Government to Indians for re - electing him. After then, the controversial yet necessary Citizen Amendment Act was introduced, which is still facing the strong allegations & protests throughout the country.

Conclusion: Narendra Modi has big plans, big aims & big aspirations for the country and definitely not for himself. He is doing all well in all fields but he has not yet proven himself in the most important aspect which is economy. But there are more than 04 more years to go and more big aims are yet to conquer. Although year 2020 is giving tough time like never before to him in the form of banking sector crises and collapsing economy by monstrous corona virus, the fingers are crossed. Therefore, cutting three stars for his low performing economic efforts and embracing SEVEN STARS for the rest.
