40 Suggestions for the new PM

1. You have 36 months to implement your ideas/policies
   1. Time is not your ally
   2. A shattered India has placed all its hope in you.  You’d be lucky if you receive a 100 day honeymoon period
2. Taming Inflation should be Job #1
3. Campaign for 2019 begins on May 17^th
4. You need 5 years to save India, 10 years to bring prosperity and 15 years to make the process irreversible
5. Your administration will need to run along three parallel rails
   1. Provider a more efficient mai-baap
      1. Implement ‘Garib Kalyan Melas’ across the nation (more on this later)
      2. Yes that is a ‘leftist’ , ‘socialist’ idea but that is precisely what works on a political level
   2. Implement long term Right wing policies
      1. Infrastructure development
      2. Liberalization
      3. River linking
      4. FDI, Etc.
   3. Pursue the corrupt and bring them to justice
      1. Focus on providing a more efficient mai-baap in your first year while creating ground work for the latter two objectives
   4. Once people experience benefits of an efficient mai-baap administration, they will be amenable to the other two (more right wing) initiatives
6. Going after the corrupt
   1. Hunt them down, but away from public gaze
   2. As Shourieji said in an interview with Shekhar Gupta “Do it silently and pounce when you have the facts and proof”
   3. Go public with the hunt only after BJP govt has delivered on key economic objectives
   4. A hunt without development carries the risk of bringing sympathy to a beleaguered Sonia clan
7. The first 5 years should be about simple yet effective solutions which bring succor to India’s voters within a very short period of time
8. Indians have a short memory
   1. Come 2018 and all UPA scams will be a distant memory unless NDA 2 performs and exceeds expectations
9. Lower expectations in two ways
   1. Create a charge sheet against UPA.  A white paper on where India stands on May 16^th 2014 – Inflation, militarily, politically, etc.
   2. Update manifesto by focusing on (and publicizing) low hanging fruits – Price rise, jobs, etc.
   3. At every juncture remind people where we were on May 16^th and how far we have travelled
   4. Set the stage by educating people on state of the nation – get an independent body to show level of prices (inflation), jobs being created, air quality, defense preparedness, etc.  So that improvements can be shown in the next election cycle
   5. This will also give BJP ammunition in case of any setbacks such as military aggression by China and Pakistan
10. Priyanka will be a factor in 2019 and so will Kejriwal
    1. Indians forgive and forget easily
    2. Start preparing for them
11. Work on capturing municipal and local bodies in opposition ruled states.  Use these local bodies to channel direct central assistance
    1. Mulayam, Mamta, Naveen, etc. will not support NDA government’s initiatives
    2. And even if they do, they will want to share credit for all your good work
    3. You cannot afford to go to war with them.  Blame game won’t work.  Moreover, time and energy wasted on such battles will expend your hard earned political capital
       1. Instead circumvent their power by capturing local bodies
       2. Fighting them for control of chief ministership will take time.  A luxury you don’t have
       3. People need results soon, local bodies can deliver them
12. Trap regional satraps in their own web
    1. Example:  Announce a large industrial project in (say) Bihar.  Now Nitish will have to either approve it or oppose it.  If he opposes it, start creating a storm over his opposition
    2. If he supports it, rapidly implement the project
    3. In either case BJP will have a good case to present to the people of Bihar: “If you want even speedier progress and development put a BJP CM in patna
13. Hand over battles against UPA looters to SC controlled and monitored independent bodies (as you have promised)
    1. Give them resources and freedom
    2. Ensure that BJP leaders and supporters who supported UPA in their loot are also caught in the net.  It will give the crusade much needed credibility
    3. Be willing to sacrifice a few BJP pawns to check mate Congress’ Queen and her brood
14. Split UP and other large states into smaller states but start with UP first
    1. It will allow for better administration
    2. People of these states will experience progress/change at a local level
    3. It will provide you the space to install BJP CMs in these new states
    4. It will prevent emergence of a political rival with command over large chunk of 30-40 seats
15. Work silently to dismantle leftist infrastructure across Indian academia and media
    1. Create parallel alternatives whilst simultaneously starving JNU type institutions of funds and credibility
16. Create a kit for each segment and distribute these via national level ‘Garib Kalyan Melas’
    1. Example:  A kit for a rural household could include the following
       1. A standalone Solar kit (panel + batter) to power a home with 2-3 rooms
       2. One head of cattle
       3. MNREGA funds to create simple water harvesting assets such as check dams, trenches, wells, etc.
       4. Two bicycles
       5. A Water-less toilet
    2. Example: A kit for primary schools
       1. Building materials
       2. MNREGA funds
       3. Mid-day meals with partnership with NGOs such as Akshay Patra
       4. Solar based power
       5. Adopt the Ekal Vidhayala model
    3. Such kits will allow for development to reach people within a few months as against a few years
17. Leapfrog western nations through innovation: Make innovation the corner stone of your govt.
    1. Solar roads, Graphene based products, nano tech, etc. are providing efficient and economically viable alternatives to outdated technologies and processes currently prevalent in the West and even China
    2. India represents virgin territory on various infrastructure fronts.  Look for the latest in technology so that solutions implemented in the next 5 years can remain state-of-the-art for the next 25-30 years
    3. From tele medicine to online education India needs to learn from the West and leap frog to the 21^st century
18. Eschew 5 year plans for 25 year plans
    1. All infrastructure projects should be implemented keeping this time horizon in mind
    2. Establish annual milestones but the planning should be such that infrastructure can be expanded keeping in mind a 25 year demand cycle
19. Sangh Parivar should be charged with implementing 2-3 long term projects
    1. Emulate the Catholic Church in building a nationwide network of educational institutions and healthcare facilities
    2. Note: The Church is the second largest provider of healthcare in America (after the govt.)
    3. Such projects will help keep the Sangh occupied and away from needless mischief
20. Social reform
    1. Best way to defeat fundamentalism and bring social reform is to promote women’s power
    2. Suggestion:  Offer ‘Girls only’ schools and colleges across the nation
    3. As you have done in Gujarat, flood the country with new schools and college which in turn will strike at the heart of reservation based caste differences
    4. Use social reform as a long term political tool to neutralize the Mayas and Mulayams of Indian Politics
21. As you have done in Gujarat take special care of the girl child – dedicated schools, colleges, employment opportunity, reservations at every level
    1. Portray the Girl child as an incarnation of Goddess Durga
    2. Empower her through social welfare schemes
    3. It may help address issue of female feticide
22. Bring back those who have left hindu fold – by setting an example
    1. Your humble background and meritocratic rise represent a beacon of hope for most Indians
    2. It also negates the propaganda unleashed against Hindu society
    3. A subtle campaign could do wonders to help bring people to the Hindu fold
    4. Hinduism remains the only guarantor of secularism in the country
23. Stay away from needless controversies
    1. Instead of banning Valentine’s day, etc. promote an Indian version of the same and have it celebrated in traditional Indian fashion
       1. Much as festival of Holi has been coopted by America to create ‘Color me Rad’ India needs to adopt popular western festival and offer an Indian alternative
    2. Instead of changing school books to promote the correct picture of Indian history help the Sangh rapidly expand its own network of schools where this history can be taught
24. Create a national level collaboration with groups such as Akshay Patra to offer mid-day meals at every school across the country
    1. Create a such a parallel public-people partnership in as many social sectors as possible
    2. It will support your vision of ‘Min govt, max governance’
25. Avoid mistakes made by China in aping the Western model of development
    1. Collaborate with entities such as the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation to install water-less toilets
    2. It will help India in a big way and serve BJP’s political fortunes on multiple levels
       1. It may help end (or reduce) manual scavenging
       2. It will bring International recognition to the Modi Government
          1. Environmental lobby is one of the biggest political force in the Western world
       3. It will bring sanitary facilities to rural India within a very short period of time
    3. Focus on mass transit driven by renewable energy sources (Solar, wind, etc.) as against individual automobile based growth
26. Don’t compromise with Pakistan
    1. Any Aman-ki-Asha type initiatives will alienate your core supporters.  Moreover, ISI can easily destroy these initiatives with well-timed terror attacks
    2. It will backfire in multiple ways – politically, militarily, etc.
    3. India must remain in a state of permanent conflict with Pakistan
    4. We cannot afford a ‘Illegal Bangladeshi’ like Demographic invasion on our western border
    5. Only way to deal with Pakistan is to force its division into 3-4 parts and instigate a civil war on them
27. You are all that stands between Indians and a ‘Islamic Republic of India (IRI)’
    1. Only you can stall or reverse the slide towards an IRI
28. At first your enemies will be cowered and subdued but they will be prepared to strike at the slightest excuse
    1. Any act against them will be portrayed as an ‘abuse of power’ by your govt
    2. Counter Congress’ evil empire by bleeding them dry and building a parallel infrastructure across key institutions
29. Stress growth with environment protection
    1. Stress on simple environmental protection measures such as requiring all public and private buildings to be painted white
    2. Such simple measures come with an added benefit of generating great PR for the new government at a global level
30. Discredit the media
    1. Take away all govt. provided privileges so as to trigger a media backlash
    2. Once this backlash is established, media will be exposed for the favors it gathered from Gandhi family and media’s credibility will be irreversibly damaged
31. Liberate Hindu Temples and leverage their wealth for Hindu rejuvenation
    1. Tie major Temples with the Sangh Parivar to build the aforementioned network of Educational and Healthcare institutions
32. Pseudo secular empire have cornered the education sector
    1. Liberate this sector by flooding the country with educational industry
    2. Privatize high education to aggressively build education infrastructure
    3. Ensure that cost of education is affordable for the poorest of the poor
33. A terror attack will be planned to provoke the new administration so as to instigate India into a limited conflict for which India is under prepared – prepare to handle it both militarily and politically
34. India has been gutted by Sonia the termite
    1. This hollowing out has affected all areas – defense, economy, etc.
    2. Taking on China and Pakistan openly may lead to a defeat
    3. Prepare for war before making any public statements
       1. Internal security is key.  IB should be modernized and counter terror infrastructure built inside Pakistan before any attempts are made to openly challenge Pakistan
       2. ISI surely has an expansive network of cells within India.  First unearth and neutralize these cells
35. Don’t open wars on too many fronts – pick your battles
    1. You don’t have to start all these wars simultaneously but preparation for each can start right away
    2. Preparing for these battles from day one will help NDA defend against allegations of political vendetta
36. Prevent any attacks on minorities but follow the Gujarat model  - no appeasement
37. Promote Hindutva and Hindu culture internationally
    1. Apart from Yoga what else can we promote internationally – Indian classical dance, Ayurveda, alternative medicine, Indian classical music
    2. All the aforementioned professions should be made income and service tax exempt – no one can oppose their promotion
    3. It puts us in a positive light without any adverse political fallout
38. Draw sickulars into battles they cannot win
    1. Empower minority women
    2. It will bring real social change and any opposition to it will trigger a backlash against sickulars
39. Turn Aadhar card on its head by using it against Congress’ illegal voters
    1. Require all Aadhar card holders to verify it or lose all associated privileges
40. Use tiff with US as leverage
    1. Don’t visit US in your first term
    2. Court US business (and in turn their labor class) by offering the Indian market for American products
    3. Such a strategy will help counter the pseudo secular lobby and engage American public directly
    4. Companies such as Caterpillar, John Deere, Intel, etc. should be engaged to help build Indian infrastructure
    5. Once this leverage is created, US can be made to take a pro-India position vis-à-vis China and Pakistan
