It's only words.

"Does anyone remember the slogan Prime Minister Narendra Modi once had: 'Minimum government, maximum governance'? We haven't seen any of it. The PM is doing what the UPA did," wrote S Sabhlok, suggesting 5 reforms for the Prime Minister to consider. First, state funding for elections, to stop criminals winning with illicit wealth. India does not have primaries where people choose their candidate, like in the US. Candidates are chosen by party leaders, presumably with full knowledge of their criminal histories. 35% of the 31 Chief Ministers of our states have criminal cases against them. 27% of elected mayors from the BJP, the Prime Minister's own party, in UP are charged with crime. Even in the Prime Minister's home state of Gujarat, 25% of BJP candidates had criminal charges in recent elections. Besides state funding will mean that independents or "small candidates", who are hated as "vote-cutters", will not get any funding. Second, clean up the bureaucracy. India was recently ranked below China at 81st place in corruption index. Civil servants cannot be charged with crime without permission of the government, probably because they know too much. Third, right to property. Our original Constitution guaranteed right to acquire, hold and dispose of property" to citizens, but "Nehru and Indira Gandhi diluted this right, saying that government must 'subordinate the rights of individuals to the urgent needs of society'. The ultra-socialist Janata Party scrapped this right altogether..." The previous government passed a Land Acquisition Act in 2013 to provide adequate compensation to those whose land is forcibly acquired by the government. The present government is trying to amend that act to acquire land for development. While the government and its agencies have enormous powers citizens are routinely coerced and denied basic rights, wrote R Singhal. The Finance Minister condemned the retrograde tax on Vodafone yesterday. The same man vigorously defended it last year. Fourth, freedom of speech, which will include freedom to eat whatever we like, including beef, and practice any religion. Sale of cattle for slaughter was banned in 2017 and vigilante gangs have been killing anyone suspected of cattle smuggling. They justify their violence by saying that if pork is banned in Muslim countries why shouldn't beef be banned in India. Fifth, the government should not be running hotels and airlines. "The PM should repeal the word 'socialist' that pollutes out preamble" because "every Indian deserves the right to rise to a middle class level". True, but then what will 75 ministers do?
