Not everything that is right these days is because the BJP is doing it right. Nor is everything wrong because the BJP has not got it right. Both are also parts of a legacy from the previous government and both are equally also doings of the present government. That is the reality we must learn to accept. For over 60 years we have functioned or been dysfunctional in a particular way. Correcting systems takes time as too rapid a U-turn can derail the train.

Too much is expected in one year. Partly because Narendra Modi's original sin was that he was actually successful in the elections and that too in a manner that left the government of the day gasping for breath. UPA-II had long been high on slogans and rhetoric, low on performance and generally out of depth. Removed from reality they presumed that the Family held the keys to the kingdom. Maybe it still does for the hapless Congressmen and women but the nation may have found an alternative leader. If Modi succeeds then the Congress might well be history.
