Some Follow Through On Narendra Modi S Plan B
Just recently I asked what is Narendra Modi's desired end game for India? Well great observers see the same things. Here is a Reuters report (carried in The Star) which says somethings about Narendra Modi - not too far off from what I pointed out here recently.
(Reuters) - Six months after re-elected Modi on course to deliver two big promises
Stripping Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir of autonomy
moving towards building a temple on a disputed site
moves have electrified his supporters
also sown unease among India's 200 million Muslims and liberals
factbox on what BJP wants to achieve and progress it has madeSOCIAL ISSUES - BJP's core tenets - Hindu temple be built on disputed site
Supreme Court on Sat awarded Hindu groups control of site
paving the way for the construction of a temple
in August stripped Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir of special status
another long-held BJP aim to dilute region's autonomy
BJP next create a uniform civil code to trump independence of religious communities
BJP's states gender equality cannot be attained until India adopts uniform civil codeMuslims are upset that Sharia would be diluted under uniform civil code
Modi keen on Citizenship Amendment Billhelp Hindus, non-Muslim minority in neighbouring Muslim countries move to IndiaCritics have called the proposal blatantly anti-Muslim
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - to turn India into US$5 trillion economy by 2025
Modi has pushed 'Make in India' campaign plan has broadly failed to take off
foreigners deterred by labour laws, bureaucracy, power, water supplyIndia's insufficient infrastructure.economic growth fallen to six-year lows businessmen disappointed Modi has not reformed India's land and labour laws.
SECURITY - Modi wants to become self-reliant in defence, remains distant goal
GOVERNANCE - Modi committed to simultaneous elections for parliament, state assemblies and local bodies to cut down on expenses and avoid excessive political distractions. There is no clear timeline for this. FARMER WELFARE - BJP promised farmers incomes will double by 2022drop in exports, erratic weather contributing to gloom in countryside

My comments : Democracies need votes. Votes come from voters. And in the Third World (India, Malaysia, Zimbabwe, Costa Rica) the quality of the voters determines the politics and government policy.
And when the main objective of all government (to improve the economic well being of the people) fails or does not achieve economic targets then the political leaders will begin to worry.
If the economy does not move well enough, how will they get the votes?
Switch to Plan B.
Plan B is the tried and tested fallback on useless issues like religion, race, language etc.
We are seeing this in Malaysia.
We are seeing this in India.
The only real worry factor is that some Indians are seriously talking about India retaking the part of Kashmir which was invaded by Pakistan in 1948. 2020 could see war between India and Pakistan.
Or Pakistan could break up and parts of Pakistan (Sindh) may rejoin India.
