Modi's first year: Impatient India wants delivery, not just intent

India Today  

In the weeks and months before May 16, 2014, when the Narendra Modi juggernaut was rolling relentlessly across India and whipping up electoral passion unseen in the country in a long time, some wise men would resort to levity to try and provide some perspective to the "wave". The NDA's new Naxal policy announced by Home Minister Rajnath Singh last year is yet to materialise on the ground, even as Prime Minister Modi visited Chhattisgarh and promised to weed out Maoists. Infrastructure gaining pace Even before the BJP won the Lok Sabha elections and Modi became PM, India's infrastructure sector was in dire straits. When he took charge of the ministry last year, Rajiv Pratap Rudy had said this ministry will play a crucial role in fulfilling the objectives of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Make in India campaign. In December 2014, despite objections from the health ministry, the country's healthcare budget was slashed by 20 per cent unexpectedly, although the Union government spends only about 1 per cent of GDP on public health.
