Its shameful that they haven't been able to address every gap in ONE WHOLE MONTH. 30 > 6, how can they not solve only 6 decades of problems in 30 FULL days!!
It was plan or the road map we were expecting from Modi's Govt not the total solution. Okay - got it. We have to wait for next 6 decades for the solution. May be my great grand children will enjoy it.

They should've followed Kejriwal's example who completely changed the face of Delhi in a very short duration and then resigned when there was nothing more left to do. There is no corruption in Delhi anymore and there never will be now, thanks to his lasting legacy. In fact, two weeks into his CM tenure, Bolllywood was seriously considering renaming the movie "Delhi ka thug" to "Delhi ka sant", because there are no thugs in Delhi now. Everybody in Delhi loved the new "heaven on earth" they were living in and would've voted AAP back into power right away, if not for corrupt capitalists like Ambani, Adani et. al., who teamed up with Dr. Evil to release something into the air on election day that forced Delhites to vote for BJP. And so, despite all his great work and amazing accomplishments, AAP didn't even win a single seat there.
Shame on you, BJP!
Sure, as Delhite said, let's wait for another 5 years. If they get lucky the second time, something's gonna happen for good in another 10.
I am keeping my fingers crossed! Who doesn't want India to prosper? And, what is better than Modi Sarkar?

Its like expecting a girl to deliver a baby the next week of having her first sex.
Comm'on get real and be practical. Grandchildren turn is far-far away. By that time the whole world will be looking towards India with envy..
& BTW your grandchildren will probably be in Canada paying probably the highest taxes in the world..
Let's look at the reality. Modi cant do everything. There are Congress ruled states that will oppose anything Modi proposes. At the same time, Modi can do a lot since he has the majority in LS and has the backing of Amma in the RS. he can bulldoze the bills if he wants. When the centre proposed a policy regarding onions, Maha govt opposed it since the onion lobby in that state is ruled by NCP and Congress. Those people call the shots for onion prices in the country. This is just an example where states can derail things.
If Modi wants to improve things in the country, let him push for improvement in the police, judiciary, govt staff (not making the job secure even if they are caught in corruption cases), etc. Five yrs is a long time to do these things. If he at least start the process, he will be easy winner next time too.

Agreed. Improvement in police and judiciary is very important. I will also add healthcare and education. These are the basic things that every citizen should have. Till now, I don't see much of an effort and solid road map from them on these issues. They have a plan for IIM's and setting up more AAIMS which is appreciable but they also need to focus on preliminary education systems ( Government schools) ,existing hospitals and corruption. It will be too early to criticize them. Give them some time and see how it moves from here. As I pointed out early, new government should work on basic things first and fix them as previous government was not even bothered about those. Bullet trains, statues and other extra expenses can hold on for few more years and that money can be utilized for basic necessities. It is just like managing your household budget, you will first cover food expenses, education expenses, clothing and if you have more then you will look for buying car on emi. You will not buy car first and have no money left educating your children and feeding them.
As Febpreet mentioned earlier, Who doesn't want India to prosper? Who ever does that will be god for us( Be Mr.Modi, Mr.Rahul Gandhi or Mr.Kejriwal). We should not be concerned about who is doing this if the work is getting done.

DELHI INDIAN
The UNO report says that more than one third of the world's poor live in India (Ref Deccan Herald news item dated July 17th).
One previous day news item in the same paper stated that Reliance Industries had been slapped additional fine of $579 million taking the total penalty by the Indian Government to a staggering 2.376 billion dollars. If the penalty itself is this much the actual losses suffered by the government or the people of India must be at least 4 times more. Did RIL steal Oil from the high seas while pretending all the time they could not supply the same to the oil companies?
This is just one of many such business houses.
And we have to believe the two reports do not have any connection.
