Yesterday I watched
Narendra Modi the Gujarat C.M. addressing a gathering of distinguished
variegated diaspora of politics, industry, trade & commerce, media, art
& culture and other areas of social activities on a T.V. show hosted by a
T.V news channel in Delhi. He appeared to me as man of ideas, imagination and
innovations. Atal Bihari Vajpayee has
been an orator who would keep his audience spell bound. He was a pied piper to the
people but Modi is a dream redeemer. That is what I realized from his address,
and later on his interaction with the people there. The way he talked, took questions and dished
out his recipe for national growth and development backed by his own real-time
experiences of Gujarat was unprecedented.
Nehru was a dreamer, Vajpayee was an idealist but Modi is a pragmatist par excellence. In today’s context the country needs a leader with a role not only that of an administrator but also manager able to compete globally and steer the economy of the country to new heights and who has clear road map with firm resolve to solve the problems the country faces today. And Modi definitely has the capability to fit the bill.
