Modi has definitely had an outstanding run as a PM so far. From consolidating the position of the country in the international forum to winning state assembly elections, he is certainly a larger than life figure in Indian politics.
The mode can continue as more states go into polls in the recent future. However in the latest parliament session, the opposition is ganging up against the BJP to stall the proceedings of the parliament. There are some crucial bills that are outstanding- Insurance bills and the GSP are two of them. Modi is delivering- atleast thats what the popular perception is. He is a stark contrast to Manmohan singh who refused to open his mouth even to his worst detractors and critic. He probably had good intentions in mind but could never put out his agenda strongly to the people. Thus Congress was handed out their worst defeat since the Emergency rule in the seventies. The party continues to be led by the dynasty, hanging onto the inept ways of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi. With Sonia gandhi not in the best of health, the fortune of the party seems to be hanging in balance. Rahul Gandhi has not proved himself as an effective leader of the masses. He doesnt seem to have a clear clarity in thinking, often resorting to cheap political gimicks like tearing off the manifesto of an opposition party in one of his public speeches. That kind of gimics can work only for a certain section of the population but people are definitely becoming wiser.
In the Lok Sabha, BJP has a brute majority and thus the proceedings are being allowed to function without too much interruptions. However when it comes to Rajya Sabha, BJP needs to do well in the next few assembly elections to come close to dictating terms. Currently they are in a minority and with all political parties joining hands in trying to stop the BJP juggernaut, it is not surprising that every issue is being looked as a reason to stall the proceedings. I think Indian politics need to move forward where effective debates should be the order of the day instead of disruptional politics that the opposition parties are resorting to.
