Anniversary Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

Politics is a short term game
Economics is the long one
Both tend to converge in the end
But in the mid term
They pull in the opposite directions
And try to spoil top leader's name.
This is the eve of second anniversary
Of Modi government
Here is a retrospection in Indian economy
To see how two years he spent.

GDP growth has turned back
And India is set to suppress China
If everything goes in track
Next year India will become
The fastest growing major economy
In the world.
Inflation rate is down
Govt. finances are healthy
Fiscal and current deficits are under control
Capital inflows are wealthy.

Insurance sector liberalized
Defence has become tough
Diesel decontrolled.
Coal production grown up
General & Rail budget reoriented.
No corruption scandal so far
Applications and approvals are moving online
India's stand to the world is clear
And at a glance it may be said
The governance become upgraded.
