MODI the legendary leadership of india - 3

A self-made man

Besides being a revered orator and a prolific writer, he is also a caring son and a man with his brand of humour. Those who have associated with him for long are of the opinion that the idea of power is exciting to him. Next time you wonder how he could garner so much of national attention, think of this. He underwent a rigorous training in the US on public relations and image management. When it comes to taking lessons on brand building, Modi says there's no greater inspiration than Mahatma Gandhi. His eulogies about Gandhi come from the fact that "He spoke of Ahimsa but carried a stick. He never wore a cap but the world wears a Gandhi Topi." Modi's careful metamorphosis from a Hindutva party man to a pro-development leader and change maker speaks volumes for his image-building ability. His 2-year long escapade into the Himalayas and co-mingling with the yogic sadhus gave him a fair understanding of Hinduism. That partly explains why people listen to him in rapt attention when he talks of ideologies.

Modi frequently refers to his P2G2 (Pro-people good
governance) formula to substantiate his claims on holistic
development. Some observers are of the opinion that Gujarat has
been able to improve its agricultural output despite being a
semi-arid state. The credit is given to the Gujarat government's
measures to scale up groundwater projects and initiatives to
increase the use of micro-irrigation. India Inc. is almost unanimous 

in their verdict. They want Narendra Modi as the next PM. 

Reason? They seek a strong leadership that has a clear roadmap 

and actionable plans ready for execution. Indian business leaders

 from Ratan Tata to Mukesh Ambani seem to be convinced that

 for India to come out of its Gross Domestic Paralysis, a visionary and decisive
leadership is essential. Empirical evidence suggests that Gujarat has 

been able to position itself as a lucrativedestination for investment. 

Under his aegis, according to a political commentator, the level of 

corruption receded and technology parks have seen the light of the 

day. His iconic call for "Minimum Government and Maximum
Governance" has frequently struck the chord with the masses.
With so many brand images of Narendra Modi existing in a juxtaposed

 manner, it is to be seen which one suits his greater agenda and helps 

him in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
