The latest results from the Gujarat civic polls indicate that all of Congress’ nefarious machinations resulted in a big naught for them. They have been wiped out from the state. Now when the Congress and the seculars (Setalvad et. al.) are sitting in the dark, licking their wounds, it is important to look at this from a national perspective. I am an unabashed admirer of Bhai Narendra Modi . His performance has been stellar. We have written so much about that on this blog. Now the time has come for even the Narendra Modi haters to take lessons from him in running a state or even the nation. Hindus are taught that age and wisdom are to be respected. That means that we do not care where the wisdom comes from. My suggestion to them (especially the BJP crew in Karnataka) would be to suck it up and take notes. If every state was half as efficiently run as Gujarat is, then India would be able to progress despite of the central government incompetence.Why we should respect Gujarat’s governance and economic achievements
As the state of Gujarat nears completion of the first decade of the 21st Century, its achievements in economic management and in governance merit respect and closer study.
Between, 1999-2000 and 2007-2008, Gujarat’s gross state
Domestic product (GSDP) in nominal terms grew at a compound annual rate of 15.8% (13.8% in per person terms). By 2010, its GSDP is approaching $100 billion, and its per capita income around $1,600, over a fifth higher than the national average. Gujarat’s economy is well balanced, with primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors contributing 21%, 33%, and 46%, respectively of GSDP in 2007-08. The manufacturing sector, key to India’s future, accounted for 41% of employment, the largest share.
