Mahinda with Modi-June 7, 2014
Kumar David
In several essay in the last three weeks about the outcome of the Indian elections I argued five points. In the voluminous outpouring in the global, Indian and even local media about expectations for Modi’s term of office, there have been no sharp differences in respect of three of the five. In respect of the fourth many have adopted a different emphasis from that which I intend to press in this piece. The fifth item pertaining to Lanka is no longer open ended; Modi has committed himself to continuity and to 13A. I will comment on this, but my main topic today is Modi-BJP’s economic options.
