India, has witnessed 16 parliamentary elections. But, the last 2014 elections had created a huge wave worldwide. Whole world was waiting for it's results. The main reason for this was, the prime minister candidate, "Mr. Narendra Modi". What made NAMO different from other politicians? Did countries like China, U.S.A fear his leadership?
Narendra Modi became a very prominent face in Indian politics, after he was appointed(not elected) as CM of Gujarat on 7 Th October 2001. In the first four months He involved himself in providing relief to the devastated reigns of the massive earthquake that hit Gujarat earlier. His job was commendable. Then 'Godra' happened. Modi ordered his top cops to escort returning Hajji pilgrims safely to their homes. He writes letters to neighbouring states to assist him with police cadre. When things went out of control, he ordered shoot at sight orders. Almost 300 Hindus were killed. Very few people know that Modi had never stood an election till then. He became BJP's most powerful leader when he got BJP to power after the godhra riots in 2002 election. Modi's idea of government revolved around privatisation and small government which stood as odds with what journalists described as the "anti-privatisation and anti-globalisation position" of RSS.
Modi emerged as a hard working leader with terrific organisational and administrative ability. Modi's rise is unlike other variety of politicians with no vision, no skills, no organisational capability, or even intelligence, yet they are in fray because of bloodline like the Neharuvian's, Sindhi's, Yadav's or Gowda's. The morch politicians like Mamatha Baneerji, Bal Tackrey, George Fernandes and now Mr.Kejriwal represent a degree of anarchy than good governance solution.
But, Why are countries like U.S.A, China or Pakistan afraid of him? How would his victory affect them?
Narendra Modi, Assumes the highest executive office.There were a series of statements by local BJP officials that appeared deliberately aimed at exploiting tensions between specific communities. There were also more assertive statements directed at neighbours Pakistan – with which India has fought four wars – and China – with which India has had one conflict – and a promise that Modi in power would create an India that no one could talk down to on the international stage. There was even an apparent threat to revise India's "no first strike" nuclear weapons policy .All came together in the slogan "India First".
Rivalling the relationship with Pakistan for complexity and potential for misunderstanding is that with the US. As protocol demands, Barack Obama called the Indian prime minister elect over the weekend to express his hope that his win would help "fulfil the extraordinary promise of the US-India strategic partnership". Crucially, and here no one would have missed the significance, "the president invited Narendra Modi to visit Washington at a mutually agreeable time to further strengthen our bilateral relationship," said a government spokesperson. This could occur as soon as the UN General Assembly in New York in September, when Modi could also visit Washington. The visit is likely to be an extraordinary event with Modi – a teetotal, celibate, ascetic outsider who has shunned the sophisticated salons of India's power elite – suddenly pushed on to the world stage, and into a gruelling round of diplomatic engagements. Perhaps the biggest challenge for Modi on the world stage will be China. Few in India, where annual economic growth has dropped to less than 5% in recent years, now talk of catching up their neighbour. Indeed, for Modi, China may appear to be less a rival than an opportunity. He has been there four times on official visits – more than any other country – and, aides say, admires what has been achieved in the country
From an international perspective, Modi’s entry to the Prime Minister’s office raises two questions. Will India adopt a more harsh and aggressive foreign policy than it did under Manmohan Singh, an Ox bridge-educated economist, and his Congress party? And will the new government succeed in rebooting India’s economic miracle which has sputtered in recent years? Indians and people the world over will be watching to see how far Modi goes in the direction of liberalisation. Reforming India, which has many powerful states and innumerable vested interests, is much harder than reforming an individual state like Gujarat. And while Modi has obtained a historic mandate for his economic agenda-the B.J.P. will be the first party in thirty years to have an outright majority in Parliament-there are still widespread concerns that the fruits of economic progress are not being spread widely enough, concerns that more business-friendly reforms are unlikely to alleviate.
