>> Modi went all these places and squandered public money when the central government could do the same thing..
See thats the big question COULD DO THE SAME. But the central gov did not do it was the CM who did it. You have to take teh right steps. It does not matter if he went or someone else went. He took a step to get it done. Ask the people of gujarat, they will say one BIG thing. They are electing modi because HE CAN GET THINGS DONE.
Another ex. is the NDC meet in 2005. I bet you don't know what NDC meet is and please google it up and see. In the NDC meet of 2005 everyone was amazed by the way he administers his state and the vision he has. Even the PM was spellbound. The PM is one of the best finance ministers we ever had. Did he criticize on any of Modi's development works in the election ralleys? Do you know why?
