Far-right economists, some of whom appear on Mint’s opinion pages, had one view. Subsidies would go. State-owned firms would be sold to the highest bidder. Labour and tax laws would be reformed. Growth would return. Left-leaning liberals, who too find a place in Mint, had another. History would be rewritten. Forests would be despoiled. The media would be muzzled. 2014 would become 1984—George Orwell’s version of it. That was during the elections, once it became clear the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would form India’s next government. Three months and a bit later, neither scenario has panned out entirely, although bits of both have; it is entirely possible that with time, one or the other may indeed come true. Tuesday marks the 100th day since Narendra Damodardas Modi was sworn in as India’s 14th Prime Minister. There have been a rash of analyses to commemorate the event. Sure, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ruled India for 13 days, and then 13 months, both starting in 1998, and then again, for five years between 1999 and 2004, but the Modi government is India’s first, true BJP government. The performance of a government and a man, both just getting started—many say, perhaps rightly, that Modi is the NDA and the NDA is Modi—can’t really be assessed in 100 days.
