Prime Minister Narendra Modi's magic with voters draws upon his projection as the spearhead of India's upward trajectory in international affairs.
As the world's largest democracy heads for its eighteenth general elections in phases starting April 19, an air of inevitability prevails over the likely outcome. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party is projected to retain power with a thumping victory. Few doubt that Modi will get a record-equaling third consecutive five-year term in office, a feat that only India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had accomplished.In historical terms, India is in a Modi era.
His technocratic style of governance, marked by an 'art of implementation,' conveys fundamental competence in administrative matters. In a large and chaotic democracy where rule-of-law is in short supply, Modi's mastery over the minutest of public policies and his personal involvement in almost all governance issues assure voters that they have a '24/7' public servant-in-chief.Fourthly, Modi is a symbol for clean governance.
