A Victory for Democracy!

The industrialists assembled in for the 'Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors Summit' took an extra-ordinary step forward and declared "Narendrabhai, the leader of the western state is the most suitable person to become the leader of the nation". There is no disagreement on the spirit of the declaration made by the group including the highly respected Ratan Tata at Ahmedabad. Large number of Indians agree that we need a strong leader with a vision for the country. This belief has been strengthened further as a result of the vulnerability of the country to multiple terror attacks.
Except for the familiar reaction of a lone spokesman of the ruling party at the centre, even the most secular among the secular press also seem to be supporting this view. Such a thing was unimaginable in India earlier. So liberalisation is taking strong roots in the country!
During the 60's and 70's the Congress Party used poverty as a weapon to garner votes while blaming the Tatas, Birlas and the Mafatlals for all the problems faced by the country (Reliance was too small those days). The political leaders collected funds from businessmen by selling licences to a selected few while creating an "Inspector Raj" across the country.
The businessmen in India never dared to praise an opposition leader like Modi before. It is surely a sign that the industry is gradually getting out of government control. All credit should go to Narsimha Rao and Manmohan Singh.
Let us call it a victory for democracy when people speak out without any fear!
