Good Governance Paid off in Gujarat
by Viraf Mehta on Dec 25, 2007 01:26 AM

Three cheers to Narendrabhai Modi for pulling off a fantastic victory in the recently concluded polls.

His victory is a lesson for all Indians, and that is "perform or perish". Meritocracy should be the only parameter on which an individual or a party should be judged, and Narendrabhai has shown that it was his performance that has vaulted him to his third consecutive victory.

The lesson for the Congress %u2026%u2026stop being fanatical towards the Nehru / Gandhi family. This is a family that has suffocated people's thinking through the process of emotional blackmail. Our way or the highway, and the philosophy of dynastic rule which is the family%u2019s trademark does not work in a democratic country like India.

For Narendrabhai to leave a lasting legacy, someone who will be talked well after he leaves politics, one hopes that he follows the policy of inclusiveness. After all, we are all Indians, and we deserve to be treated equally, irrespective of caste, culture or religion.

Congratulations once again.
