The government doesn’t even bother to properly record its dead. The Modi government doesn’t even acknowledge the dead piling up in various crematoriums across the country. The current Union home minister is unlikely to have this humility. Chidambaram, admitting to the government’s failure in tackling the insurgency, said, “The buck stops at my desk”. At the peak of the Naxal violence in 2010, then Home Minister P. Let’s strongly disagree with the UPA and the Congress dynasty, but also appreciate that the dynasty had given immense space to some outstanding civil society leaders who were instrumental in drafting and crafting several welfare schemes like the MGNREGA under which the Modi government later sought and found a shameless asylum.Īnd unlike the current rulers, the UPA acknowledged its failures. As we fix the responsibility of the Modi government, it’s imperative to assess the contribution of such commentators to his ascent. Many of those who were gloating with guilty pleasure in 20, who had rationalised, even justified, his earlier victories, couldn’t read the omens that have fallen upon us now. The government despises academics and scholars, be it at private or government institutions, reflected in assaults on writers and academics. Those who treated the Ashoka episode as an isolated incident overlooked falling standards in academic institutions during the Narendra Modi era. Several commentators criticised Ashoka University for succumbing to the mighty, ignoring that the university administration was clearly bullied by the country’s rulers who couldn’t tolerate their criticism.

As we look back at the last 12 months, it’s obvious that the leadership deficit always existed at the top. It makes and moulds leaders, prompts them to cede their hardened stances and reinvent themselves to meet new challenges. A crisis is the biggest test of leadership. When the outbreak was first reported in India last year, the Union leadership was at test. The Modi government took little steps to build India’s health infrastructure, declared a false victory over the virus, celebrated Kumbh and went ahead with election rallies when the disease was spreading fast. ![]() They refuse to acknowledge that governance and administration do not operate in vacuum, these are led by specific personalities. Several commentators have blamed the ‘system’ for the massacre caused by the coronavirus pandemic, without underlining the failure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, without naming the man behind the mayhem.
