How much Modi Government trying to stifle the growing piques on the Jay shah's alleged financial gain issue, it is another incident which further exposed the Modi Government to the Reality-Shock Syndrome. Recently, the RBI’s Quarterly Policy Report and Earlier to this the Centre’s financial report on GDP and Economic Survey already made the Government incarcerated to the situation.

Jay AmitBhai Shah, the only son of most powerful Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president Amit Shah. The Wire, an online media house uncovered the alleged financial misappropriation which gives Jay a whopping 16,000 times monetary gain within 2 years. The amount of truth behind the accusation is yet to be proved (if Modi Government or a judicial proceeding wants). It has put an incorrigible question mark on the submission of the Modi Government and its precision on corruption. Although the issue is not related to any members of the treasury bench for which the government to take the blame, yet it is the subject directly impinge on the party’s very sensitive part, its image.
Before going to the details, it is relevant to quote Tom peters and Nancy Austin from their book “A passion for excellence: The leadership difference”.
- People have ego and developmental needs ...and they will commit themselves only to the extent that they can see ways of satisfying these needs.
- People cannot be truly motivated by anyone else...That door is locked from inside.
- When people are in an atmosphere of Trust, they will put themselves at risk, only through risk is there growth....reward...self-confidence...leadership.
Now, come straight to the 3rd point, since 2014 Election Campaign Narendra DB Modi time again has reiterated that the “corruption” is the biggest enemy of the country and it is the only hurdle to India’s development. He promised that his mission as Prime Minister is not to enjoy power but to uproot it. He also cautioned that the fight against corruption is not so easy and called the people’s support to be ready to bear the difficulties patiently during these fighting. People unquestionably believed his Magniloquence. Extended support not only during demonetisation but also in his every disastrous reformation.
Contrary to the situation, during the same time, in recession stuck Brazil People came out to the streets and forced the government to rollback demonetisation. In Brazil, there was widespread resentment, spontaneous Protest sparked overnight. In many Western Countries, it is evident that if the government failed in any economic administration, the people’s remonstration is intense. But, in India the situation is different. People are more forbearing and indulgent towards such situations.
Now, come to the 2nd point, It seems that soon after 4 months of the implementation of demonetisation people de-motivated slowly but surely. As most of the economic reforms could not substantiate the Modi Government’s claim on corruption, Black-Money, Terrorism, Parallel economy, digital transaction, except the government forced surroundings. Rather the economic reforms posed as a stumbling block to the big ticket schemes like “Startup India”, “Make in India”, “Smart City Mission”, and “Skill Development”. Besides this, Modi-Government unable to boost the Export of indigenous products except for software
The Spice of India, most demanding products faced severe hardship during all these years. In the year, 2016-17 (Apr-June) the export reduced to 621.78US$ from 2432.85US $ (2014-15). Agriculture and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) Export performance abridged. In the year 2015-16, total export of Agri and Allied products was 43,369.62INR Cr which is reduced to 6,398INR Cr in 2016-17. PEC, a Government company, primarily engaged in export of projects, engineering equipment and manufactured goods, defense equipment & stores and import of industrial raw materials, bullion and agro commodities also faced financial constraints. Sales turnover reduced from 9780INR Cr (2013-14) to 3746 INR Cr (2016-17). Similarly, the sectors which declined are Processed meat (-77%), Leather and leather manufactures (-6.08%), Chemical and Related Products (-73%). Plastic & Rubber Articles (-2.68%), Base metals (like Iron, Aluminium, Copper) (-6.25%), except machine and Telecom instruments the export of other electronic items reduced. In the IT sector, Software service export growth dropped off (5.6% in 2012-13 to -.7% in 2016-17), IT-BPM export growth reduced from 11.1% (2012) to 7.8% (2017). All these sectors accounted 40% of the total exported goods and services.
Last but foremost, In the above mentioned psychological traits of people in relation to an organization or a nation, the first assertion is on the people’s ego and development needs, which now are dwindling. As now, when people see that the Modi Government is noiseless on the perpetrators of corruption, Black Money rather their own men has been accused of the series of corruption charges. Employment is not generated as per the Election Manifesto but to a certain extent adding numbers to the unemployment.
It seems that the chest thumping on development and projecting himself “Vikash Purush” (Messiah of development) won’t produce development. The statistical figures of the government itself negate the claim of the Modi Government. It shows that either Government is suffering from Hemispatial neglect Syndrome (a person who could not see or recognise the other half of the things) or it is a deliberated attempt of manipulation of facts, doctored data and managed publicity to hide its weakness.
For example, the Modi government’s one of the most hyped programs is the rural electrification scheme. The government maintained that even after 70years of Independence many villages having without electricity and they are doing a tremendous job to make all of them electrified. But in reality, before 2014, except Jharkhanda, Bihar, Odisha, UP, WB and Assam all the states achieved electrification between 90-98%.
In the Human development index (HDI) India already gained 4 positions before 4 and within last 3 years the condition not improved well even after the increase of budgetary allocation on social welfare schemes. According to the economic survey report (2016-17) part-2, Indonesia, Brazil, Sri Lanka and Malaysia are far better-performed nations than India.
T S Venketaraman (Management Crises and Strategies for Growth, The Hindu Speaks on Management) rightly quotes, "... the financial difficulty is a result of several managerial mistakes made months or sometimes years ago. If a manager has misused funds once, he will do the same next time if he is given more money."
