India and the world is waiting for the second innings of Narendra Damodardas Modi. His first stint as the Prime Minister of India saw the country growing steadily as a major player in international politics. Modi had inherited a weak and dysfunctional economy and it took him time to slowly reshape the country.
Modi government was able to bring the inflation under control and also reduced the fiscal deficit to manageable levels. India became one of the fastest growing economy in Asia and also surpassed the Chinese in growth.
When he took power in 2014 Modi asked the people of India a period of ten years to complete his reform and to take the country on a growth trajectory. India saw how he worked tirelessly for the betterment of the country and made their decision. No amount of media reports and opposition barbs could pull down the trust of the common Indian in their Chowkidar.
