The elections in India, Mahakumbh of the largest democracy in the world finally culminated in the swearing in of a new government - a stable government with a new beginning, riding on the hopes of more than a billion people. Narendra Modi was sworn in as the 15th PM of the nation. And the first signs of change are already visible:
- The new PM has already started dis-intermediation in communication with a new revamped website which will be used for directly reaching out to young people and the whole world. This will help in delivering the message straight to the masses without the medium of TV and newspaper media who at times can have vested interests.
- Sticking to his mantra of minimum government, maximum governance, NaMo has kept a small government and I am sure he will take regular account of everyone's performance.
- Strong capable leaders have been well rewarded with both finance and defence handed to Mr. Jaitley who unfortunately lost Lok Sabha elections.
- This government has amongst the highest levels of women representation in the ministry. Mr. Modi believes in acting and truly providing women empowerment instead of just lip service. Two of the most important ministries - MEA and MHRD would be with women leaders.
- This ministry would have General V K Singh as MoS - independent in charge of North East. I cannot think of a better person than an army general to understand the intricate issues involved in North East while at the same time, a strong focus on North East will go a long way in assuaging the concerns of our brothers and sisters in these regions.
- Lastly, I believe that NaMo would continue his mantra of Karma and run the country like a strong responsible CEO with focus on results and responsibility, truly in the interests of all the stakeholders.
Achche Din Aa Rahe Hai...Jai Hind.

I dont agree with some of the ministries he has merged e.g. Defense and Finance are both big enough and important enough to be clubbed together. Barring some such situations I think it seems ok.
Quite a momentous day for the country. No matter which angle you look at things, the mandate this election has provided is very significant.
To me personally, the election campaign by BJP was a thorough MBA style execution job. Strategy, positioning, marketing, all included. What's even better is that we now have a PM who believes in a similar style of functioning. One can expect significant improvements in most areas including national morale!
Completely agree with you on Gen (Retd.) V K Singh's appointment. I think it is a very wise move. The choice of ministers outside the CCS is perhaps an indication that the PM would want to exert his influence in their functioning.
A few voices in the mainstream media are talking about whether the PM is taking on too much himself. Alas! it is going to take some time to erase people's biases about what a PM can / should do. 10 years of incompetence cannot be forgotten easily.
@Nikhil: Jaitley and NaMo have taken your suggestion, will be implemented soon :)
@Narayanan: I am happy for the younger generation, their 20's would not be lost due to incompetence of MMS.
@Kapil - PM bhi meri baat sun leta hai.. tum kab sunoge??
