I am going by what Mody accomplished in Gujerat state. It is more prosperous than other states. Probably the main reason he won. Other states want him to do the same thing for the whole country what he accomplished in Gujerat, the state where I grew up. I have seen the progress first hand.
Also, I do not give much weight to what somebody said in 1936. This is year 2014.
So leopards really change their spots? That’s what John Kerry and his ilk think.
If any state or country does not follow free market principles but instead keeps socialism alive, then there is a devious element to whatever economic success they achieve—and inherent weakness. Like I said, the liberals in the USA discovered that with their property and tech bubbles, and that aside from the much borrowing and spending. People like Modi are going down the same path.
