I AGREE

An observation probably worth pondering over.

If Narendra Modi is really as tech-savvy & development-oriented as he is projecting himself almost 24X7, I would've expected Gujarat to be like a developed country like USA or Europe in terms of economic parity, no nepotism or red tape, minimum corruption, value for human life etc. After all, he was the CM for 15 years.

Isn't that the case?

Only a few months back, my colleague's wife was on a Surat to Ahmedabad state bus, she did facetime chat with him using the free wireless on the bus.

Nehru also Projected himself as a Tech Savvy and Development Oriented guy

One of the first PSU steel plants in Rourkela boasts of being the 3rd in the world to have used the 'LD Convertor' way of making steel. However, his Bong left wing economists, notable Mahalnobis led they way to 'Hindu rate of Growth'.*
Not that he himself was a socialist guy.

Rajiv Gandhi also used Toshiba Laptop and introduced Computers. Exports rose during his time but imports rose even more

*Widely used term, but it is a misnomer. It is the secular rate of Growth. 8% is the Hindu rate of growth.

Short cut mein - It is all about economics. Modi has some right guys like Pangagriya for that.

Frankly speaking, silly question to ask. Why does USA not pair with Qatar in terms of per capita? Why stop at USA or Europe? Why doesn't Gujarat pair with Sun or Moon's unknown economic parity?

Politics is all relative. Had he not been the CM then where would Gujarat be? No one knows the answer,but we can extrapolate based on other Indian states ranging from MH to UP to Bihar.

Now, Gujarat was a leading state even before Modi came in. But he did have positive influence in all the 12 years. Guess there is 24/7 power and water.
Remember reading some studies by Surjit Bhalla who said that there was higher growth rate after 10 years of Modi Raj and it benefitted peaceful people too.

came across this*

And it wont bea surprise as to where the guy who is ranting about Gujarat Model is teaching at.
