Prime Minister Narendra Modi has understood our feelings accurately and captured our imagination with his eloquent appeals to our nationalism, patriotism and sense of identity. A succession of scams stymied governance in the United Progressive Alliance’s 10-year rule and it is idle to expect Mr. Modi to pull a rabbit out of his hat and find an answer to every problem in his government’s three-year rule.
Mr. Modi’s administration is scam-free and seems well poised to deliver on its promise of ‘acche din ’ in the remainder of its term or next.
However, if Mr. Modi is going to be long on rhetoric and short on delivery, the campaign could backfire like ‘India Shining’ (“The art of positive messaging”, June 21).

While it is refreshing that the writer has counselled the Opposition to also try and be positive about India, he appears to be biased. He has omitted mentioning the positive deeds this government has achieved such as the anti-corruption drive, Swachh Bharat, reworking the LPG gas subsidy, inculcating discipline in the bureaucracy and fixing accountability. An unkind note is his trying to predict doom for the ruling dispensation. There should be an equitable presentation of merits and demerits.
