Pulse of the People

It’s almost 15 months since the Narendra Modi led government has taken charge of the country, winning the general elections on the plank of development and its promise to bring in prosperity for the common man. But our Prime Minister has not kept his promise. False promises, weren’t they? During his tenure, several churches across the country have been attacked. A feeling of insecurity has crept into the hearts of minorities, with the Prime Minister’s assurances of action and protection sounding hollow. And oh, where is our dear Prime Minister? Is he in town or is he on some other continent? One is tempted to ask, do we have an NRI Prime Minister visiting his home country once in a while? Foreign policy is important. But should the country be ignored? The Prime Minister needs to be present here in the country to feel the pulse of the people. In the past 15 months, Narendra Modi has visited almost 23 countries. It’s time to take stock of the situation now, Prime Minister. I hope you are reading this.
