#ModiNext3Years: Final verdict hinges on these three questions

Firstpost  

Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the next three years are highly important for Modi as the observers will watch if the government leverages on these positives Two years ago, on 26 May, the Narendra Modi-government took office amid chest-thumping of a landslide victory and promise of achhe din to a billion Indians, after a disappointing UPA regime. The bad loan crisis in the Rs 101 lakh core banking sector can potentially upset the country’s economic picture for the next several years, if the government fails to get the right solutions. The BJP’s landslide victory in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections has been of little help to the Modi government to get large ticket reforms such as GST passed due to the party’s weak position in the upper house. The two years of the Modi government doesn’t have any big achievements to show on its report card that has translated into actual economic growth and job creation.
