The Narendra Modi government: The first five years - South Asian Journal of Socio-Political Studies - 23(1), Jul-Dec, 2022: p.13-19
The paper is an attempt to assess and reflect upon Modi’s government at the centre in the last five years from 2014-2019. It came to power in a time of crisis plagued by corruption and mis-governance. During the electoral campaign he presented a grand vision for the country. The mandate he got in 2014 Lok Sabha elections was simply amazing. Though a strong, stable and decisive government emerged at the centre, the performance and functioning of government remained short of the lofty promises he made during the elections. Rather his regime witnessed an environment of intolerance, hatred and intimidation leading to many far-reaching consequences and implications for a country which swears in the name of democracy.- Reproduced
