'Modi is an ideal chief minister'


They say somebody's loss is somebody's gain. That is what happened with West Bengal and Gujarat a few days ago. The small car from the Tatas, Nano, found a new home in Sanand, nearly 30 kilometres from Ahmedabad in Gujarat after a rather 'ignominious' exit from Singur in West Bengal.
For Narendra Modi, the chief minister of Gujarat, it is yet another feather in his cap. For, it is under Modi's rule that Gujarat has almost become a model of development in India, and the Tatas have corroborated it now by selecting Gujarat from the list comprising of states like Karnataka, Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh that had laid out the red carpet for Nano.
Moreover, Modi was successful in bagging the small car project from none other than his sworn political enemies—the Marxists in Bengal. So it is double whammy for him!
It is, therefore, no wonder that India Today website is flooded with feedback favouring Modi and hailing him as the best chief minister of India. When asked to comment on the question whether Nano is another milestone for Modi, Satyasadasivarao Vemuri from Vuyyuru, Andhra Pradesh, feels that India needs leaders of Modi's caliber. He says, "Modi yet again proved his detractors wrong by signing the MoU with Tata Motors for the Nano project. Our country needs such leaders." (view all comments )
Ankit from Surat even goes to the extent of comparing Modi with Sardar Patel, "The way his government cleared the deal in 10 days, as media reported, it's really amazing and Modi proved again that he is the best administrator after Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel."
Bhasmang Trivedi from Junagarh says, "The Tatas' selection of Gujarat for the Nano project has proved that Gujarat, under leadership of Narendra Modi, is the most favourable state for industries to come."
Gujarat's economy will also get a fillip with Nano. The car will provide employment to many people. It might even change the political firmament of the land where Gandhi was born. Jayur Patel from Dharmaj, Gujarat, says, "Employment is the number one issue in the world. The Nano project will change Indian politics and Gujarat in the coming years. The 1,100 acres of land will make 11 lakh families happy in the state. Long live Modi."
Anjan Kumar Samal from Delhi praises Modi for his commitment to Gujarat's development and feels that he rode to power for the second time because of this factor. "Though Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh were in race for the Nano project, Gujarat has finally became the destination of Ratan Tata's dream car. It happened due to the experience and vision Narendra Modi has to develop the state. He was completely aware of the importance of the project and the need to encase this dream project for the socio-economic development of the state…" he says.
For Prasanth Murali from Chennai, Modi is one of the rare politicians who loves his state and can go to any extent for its welfare. He says, "Modi deserves to be congratulated for what he did in the past ten days. Though he is the champion of Hindutva, he shows others that he cares for his state and the people. India needs such leaders. Let other politicians learn from him."
A majority of our surfers feel that Modi is an inspiration for many. He is an enigma. He is perhaps one of the leaders who don't give a damn for what the media says. "Modi is one of the best leaders in the right of centre. We salute his conviction to serve his state in spite of all odds as manifested by the criticism mounted by his detractors, mainly the English media and the pseudo-secularists. He is one of the few leaders who inspire the people, irrespective of sex, age, caste and religion," says Jogish Mehta from Mumbai.
Ajeet Singh from Varanasi says, "He is a CM who has a clear vision of development for his state. I really praise him for his efforts. He is an ideal CM. Well done Modi!"
