Does Mr Modi has a Philosopher's stone to quell all the monsters ?

In en-cashing the anti-incumbency votes in their favour, the parties, specially BJP and others are forgetting one thing--that the onus will be on them once they form the government at the center.  In their manifestos they have shown daydreams to the populace, but have hinted very little about the ways and mechanism with which they will rein in the inflation, corruption and joblessness along with defense and economy. Inflation in Gujrat is still as it is in the rest of India.

It is not so that either Mr Modi or anyone else will use the Philosopher stone to relieve the general public from all the hardihood they are facing now; and all their pain will be gone by the blink of an eye.It will take time. And it is time now to think deeply about the plans to check the inflation and corruption than to boast of a grand come back. I saw a tainted leader bragging on the prospect of his party,lately.

The Indian people should believe the fact that Mr Modi or his team does not have a panacea, or elixir with which he will tame the monsters of inflation and corruption. If he will be able to bring down the pervading corruption, or the inflation index by a decimal points, it will not work. What is the difference then? in the current regime and the regime yet to come ? He will have to decimate them all by setting up a proper, indomitable, and unquestionable mechanism. And it is not so that every thing will be priced at a price as it was in the year 2000. If anything like that happens, the economy will collapse, as it will send negative sentiments to the industries. What can he do then?--is a question he and he confidante should answer, not only showing the air castles. The atmosphere is euphoric for a change. But, we should expect a little from the party or alliance coming to power. The Indians are destined to get a little relief in income tax, or petrol prices in the name of democracy and an able administrator. But, these steps will do a little for the poor who do not file income tax returns or own a car or a bike. Who will be the gainer then? Off course the industrialists and the party coming to power.

Ironically, the pain of the last ten year or so has been such that everyone wants a change; and it is sure to happen. But, how much nectar will flow from Delhi, and how much it will reach to those in need, remains to be seen. One thing is certain, India will remain subdued by degrees in every field after sixty and seven years of its independence. The working class has not forgotten the perquisites and service tax yet; and several things like that is bound to happen to tame the rancorous voters. India will test two or three more nuclear weapons to quell all the criticism of non-performance then and every thing will remain shining, as it was in 2004. The world is alive on the hopes and let's hope that Mr Modi's fifty-six inch chest does not contract under the great expectations of the people from him; before the next elections are declared.
