UPA 2 has failed
badly in building confidence with the States.
1.
One reason can be Congress has no big regional
leader, who can guide them in building trust and confidence with other regional
Leaders.
2.
All there State Leaders are more interested in
Union Jobs rather than understanding current Regional Issues.
3.
In Future, India might witness more Friction
between the Centre and the States.
4.
Looking at the current scenario, UPA will not be
able to match to these future complex issues.
5.
Be it financial issues of GTC or security issues
in NCTC, UPA has not been able to work with the different Federal Leaders.
6.
Result is, India is suffering.
Before we move to why
Modi, let us try to figure out what about other regional Heads?
1.
People might argue that Nitish Kumar will be
able to smoothen the Federal - Union Frictional Environment.
2.
He has worked in the Central Government as well
as right now leading a State.
3.
At an individual Level, this can be justified,
but the drawback in this case is that his party is not a National Party.
4.
In case if he leads the government then he would
always be trying to patch a BIG BIG Coalition and might not be able to deliver
in that structure.
5.
The same case replicates with other Regional
Leaders like Mamta, Naveen, Mulayam, Sharad pawar etc. All have this drawback;
their parties are too small to lead any government at the Centre.
This is what Modi
brings that no other leader has in today's political environment.
1. He has been successfully leading a State to
a glorious future.
2. He has been able to achieve good growth in
his state in spite of a Hostile centre.
3. He will understand all aspirations of a
Federal Head. And can talk to other Federal Heads in a language that they can
understand as he has been in this Job since last 12+ years.
4. The advantage he has that other Good
federal Leaders dont have is that he represents the Second largest Political
Party.
5. The support that JDU cannot offer to Nitish
will be available to Modi from BJP in the Centre.
6. This unique combination of a regional Head
and a National Political Party will be able to bridge the complex State Centre
divide.
7. On top of it Modi is one of the most popular
National Level Leaders CURRENTLY IN A REGIONAL ROLE. Hence this will again help him out in is endeavours.
With Modi, India will be in a Win-Win situation whether we look from Federal or
Central Perspective.
