Modi's Gujarat Model



6 months back when they announced Narendra Modi as the prime minister candidate of BJP, predictions from everyone was that BJP will get 150+ seats. Over the period of time, Narendra Modi ran a very unique, motivating, inspiring campaign such that by the time election were knocking the door, that figure went up by 100 seats at least. 
 


 

















However, no one would have predicted the landslide victory of Modi-BJP and to get 272+ seats on their own as a single largest party was simply a dream. Dreams however do come true, if you work towards them and that is exactly what Mr.Narendra Modi and thousands of BJP-RSS workers did.
While visiting Gujarat during the voting of 2014, the key thing I observed was the unbelievable number of migrants from the Uttar Pradesh and Bihar region. I live in a remote town north of Gujarat and to see so many people from UP-Bihar region was overwhelming. They were looking for jobs and place to stay and Gujarat was ready to provide both of them. Gujarat had job and land to stay and Gujarati’s had big heart to welcome people from other parts of the India. It worked in the favor of them as well, as Gujarati’s wanted to run the business and needed work force. It was a win-win situation for both.






Those thousands of migrants are living since last 2-3 years must have helped Amit Shah and Narendra Modi’s campaign with word of mouth publicity. They must have given the assurance to the people of UP-Bihar that Gujarat Model is not fake. There are jobs out there in Gujarat and it has been created by the Business friendly environment of a stable government.  



There were two major claims from Narendra Modi that I was interested in validating while my visit to Gujarat. 24 hour electricity and all villages were connected by the road (Pakki Sadak).  Both of them happen to be very much true. Fortunately for me, else surviving in May’s hot weather without AC-Fans at home might have become tougher task. 

Although urban cities in Gujarat works in the model of small businesses, villages works in the model of farming. Farming needs water supply and Modi ensured the completion of Narmada Canal project. I was wondering how my cousin with 5,000 Rs (less than 100$) Salary is able to run his house every month. Turn out to be, he owns 5 acre land each worth close to 20 Lakhs and he is in reality a CarorePati. Apart from that, the help that all houses get from the Buffaloes-Cow’s milk business which runs almost all households in villages. On top of that focus of Narendra Modi lead Gujarat government was on education and increasing the skills set of all individuals. 



Gujarat Model of development was fantastic and it is thriving. Indians living across all other states believed in it and hence voted for Modi. It was not a Modi wave, it was a Tsunami of Modi and he rightly deserves all the applause that he is getting. Long Live Modi and Development!!! Once Mr.Gandhi (gujju) was denied a entry in first class compartment of train in S.Africa, result of that was India got the independence from Brits. After so many years, another gujju, Narendra Modi was denied US Visa (and you have no idea what a gujju can do to get US Visa J ) and now India got the independence from Congress’s ruling.
