Why don't people look at the facts. Sure you may like Modi to be PM and you have the right to express these opinions, but lets look at the facts when making statements.

Gujarat growth rate is mentioned, but what about other states? Maha had a 20% NDSP growth rate in 2009-2010 what about that? http://indiabudget.nic.in/index.asp

Check out the economic survey 2010-2011 to compare Gujarat growth rate with other states and you will be surprised to see states like Bihar, UP and Maha having a higher growth rate than Gujarat. In other years Gujarat has topped growth rate.

Gujarat is in the top five states in GDP growth, and has been for the last 40 years. So Modi maintaining that streak is commendable and appreciated but nothing new compared to Gujarati history.


And of course this does not include the inclusive growth and socio-economic development which is more important. For example as per last year survey reports. Gujarat although richer per capita than UP has higher hunger levels than UP. In other words, people in UP although poor are better fed than Gujarat. Providing land and infrastructure to big corporate is all well and good and much appreciated but there should be inclusive development of the poor in Gujarat as well.
The Hindu : News / National : High income, yet high hunger levels in Gujarat

Seems like Gurjarat is taking majority of India FDI.

This is another misperception unfortunately. Maha has consistently taken much bigger chunks of actual FDI inflows than Gujarat but you never hear about that. The MoUs signed in Gujarat summit don't translate to actual dollars. And if you look at the past years, only 25% on average actually do. For example, here is an outlookindia infographic

We probably all heard about the MoUs worth $450Billion signed this January. But how many people know that that in April-August 2010, Gujarat region was no.13 in the amount of FDI inflows in India of US $230million? Just above UP and below Orissa.

Even if you look historically for the past decade 2001-2010, Maha again tops the FDI inflows in India.
Maha 13.7%,
Karnataka 7.6%,
Tamil Nadu 6.7%
Gujarat 5.3%

So as you can see Maha again tops in this as well. Gujarat has done quite well of course and all the credit goes to them for that. But to create an impression that ONLY Gujarat is doing well, or even performing "the best" in terms of GDP growth or FDI inflows in many cases is incorrect. There are many states that are doing comparable and some like Maha which are doing much better in some areas. Again people should check the Economic survey 2010-2011 and see how other states are performing and how many states have actually already reached double digit growth rates.

A discussion based on facts will give better information and be more balanced.

Typical. Indians wanting a mass murderer as pm.

Look how he has developed Gujarat.... We want a developed India rather than a Religious sentimental India, Past is past, time to move on...

I will repeat a typical Pakistani response: Mind Your Own Business.

Such statements does not suit Pakistanis, when your own genocidal army has ruled you for more than half your existence...and still makes all the important desicions in your country.

 

[gulte]

thanks for this post gulte. no other indian deserves to be our pm more than modi.

Don't take it wrong, i don't want NAMO as PM, I am just replying to a dork who thinks taking side of modi means being accomplice in gujarat riots.

That's a bit sick imo. What about the relatives of everyone that he murdered in the riots? Do they not get any justice?

By not making him the PM means Justice but keeping him the way he is means Justice to you?? He after that has shown Complete Justice to the people of Gujarat, And Mistakes are on both the parties, so Just dont blame one single person for the murder.... Past is Past, Gujarat is Developing under his leadership, His presence is well needed Up there

Narendra Modi could be a strong leader. But he is definitely not secular. A country as diverse as India should not be lead by a facist.

I am sorry. But one cant simply brush the past under the carpet just because he has been able to keep Gujarat's economy going. He may be great for economics of his state but he was surely bad for the communal fabric of his state and for the nation too I must say. Why do you think Nitish refused to allow Modi to campaign in Bihar during the last assembly elections. After all, wont the Biharis would have been happy to hear a pro-development leader speak? Think about it.

come on. He's done a crime. It doesn't matter if he's been completely clean after it. He deserves his punishment.

The Mistake modi did was, he closed his eyes for 3 days to cement his Hinduvata image. But the important thing is that he allowed exactly what people wanted. Ultimately that why people elect leaders so that people can fulfill their wishes through their leaders. Twisted isnt it??

Nalwa, I would Like you to go witness Both tangible and Intangible Developments Happening there... India needs Developments, and People Like Modi are good at both Economics and Diplomacy... Past can be rubbed off if It brings us Indians a Better future... gujarat massacre as we all know was a two sided Movement hence a Single person cannot be held responsible for the entire massacre... A secular Country Like India Might not want him as a Leader but surely his Economics and Diplomacy...

Should we hang him?? Gujarat will burn once again if something like that happens...
