JAMMU: Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said here on Saturday that over the last 20 years, Narendra Modi’s governance model has grown stronger with every new challenge.
Delivering keynote address at a Panel Discussion “Modi @ 20 – Dreams Meet Delivery” organised by the Central University Jammu, Dr Jitendra said, to understand the essence and the spirit of “Modi@20”, it is essential to read the book in its entirety and in its real context and perspective.
The question, therefore, said Dr Jitendra Singh, we need to study and analyse what are the essential factors which have sustained Modi’s governance model for 20 years and continue to sustain beyond 20 years also.
Significantly, instead of being affected by the principle of diminishing returns, each passing year of Modi’s governance of 20 years has yielded increasing returns and each new challenge has enabled this governance model to emerge stronger, more effective and enduring.
Of the several chapters included in the book “Modi @20…”, Dr Jitendra referred to the chapter by Amit Shah titled “Democracy, Delivery and Politics of Hope”, which traces nation’s pessimism getting replaced with optimism and Sudha Murthy’s chapter which illustrates the awakening of aspirational India under Modi.
Lata Mangeshkar’s chapter highlights Modi’s ability to strike a personal chord, he added.
Other panellists in the programme included former Ambassador and scholar G. Parthasarthy, Executive Director for India at International Monetary Fund, Surjeet S. Bhalla, while the programme was organised by the Vice Chancellor, Central University Jammu, Professor Sanjeev Jain.
