Modernise our archaic bureaucracy. Copying the Chinese, or the Congress way of doing things, is not a route to sustainable political heft in "New India". Being loved by the "right" people is more important.
Whilst any "ruling party" has a numerical majority, it also needs to gather an "ideological majority" in Parliament — the sense of the House — to rule successfully. But choose an eagle which is in the far horizon, not the one preening itself in your garden. This makes it politically sensible to develop narrow vote banks and to encourage splintering of other votes — a useful tactic, but with highly fractious outcome.Second, it is conventional wisdom that an India ruled by a brute political parliamentary majority is an outcome of a recent breakdown in true democracy, rather than an illustration of its success. Give leadership roles to professionals selected for specific positions. He cannot be everything, everywhere. Someone needs to prescribe "play time", chill in the hills he loves, get back in touch with his gut instincts, define narrowly what he wants to achieve by 2024 and work backwards from there.
