During his “ Man ki Baat “ yesterday , Shri Narendra
Modiji said :
“I am also influenced by good and bad things like
the aam aadmi (common man),” Modi said during his monthly radio show, Mann Ki
Baat. “Constructive
criticism strengthens democracy. For an aware nation, an awakened
nation, this churning is very important.”
But , how do you get a
1000 million citizens to give such a “ feedback “ to the government ?
They can neither write “ snail mail “ nor “ e mail
“ !
But they can send an “ objective assessment “ of the government’s “ performance “ if the government were to make available on their
smart phone , a Mobile App ( RUN – Rate Us Now ) , as suggested in my following blog ( Figures in GREEN denote my rating after 3 YEARS of NDA regime , as on 29 May 2017 ) :

What are the Chances ( Figures
in RED as on 18 May 2014
)
Here are the " Chances " which I attach to fulfillment of each
of BJP's following poll promises ( as mentioned in its Manifesto ) , by the end
of 3rd
year :
* Ensure minimization of Black Money and setting up of a Task
Force ......... ( 50 % / 50 % )
* Special Courts to stop hoarding and black-marketing. ( 100 % / 0 % )
* Set-up a Price-Stabilization Fund.......( 100 % / 25 % )
* Develop labour-intensive Manufacturing ... ( 10 % / 0 % )
* Empowering youth for Self-Employment... ( 25 % / 10 % )
* Transforming Employment Exchanges to Career Centers ( 10% / 0 % )
* Eliminating corruption thru E-Governance... ( 10 % / 50 % )
* Rationalization / Simplification of
Tax-regime.. ( 20 % / 50 % )
* Insulate intelligence agencies from
political intervention and
interference..... ( 10 % )
* Strengthening physical infrastructure with expediting work on
freight and
Industrial Corridors..... ( 15 % /
50 % )
* Setting up Gas-Grids and National Optical Fiber
Network up to
the village level....... ( 30 % / 30 % )
* Quadrilateral project for Bullet Trains..... ( 5 % / 5 % )
* Establishment of National E - Library..... ( 40 % / 0 % )
* Implementation of National Education
Policy .. ( 50 % / 20 % )
* Evolving further the PPP model to PPPP
model .. ( 50 % / 50 % )
* Building 100 Mega-Cities................ ( 0 % / 0 % )
Did I miss out any ?
Parallel with whatever the Pollsters
may - or may not - do , it would be worthwhile for BJP Tech-Team , to come out
with a Mobile App (
to be named , " RUN
- Rate Us Now " ?
), to find out what voters feel , on a 5 point scale
Or , an App that would let the voters
prioritize among various promises

Dear Shri Narendrabhai :
Such a Mobile App is THE ONLY
WAY to enable millions of
ordinary citizens to provide a hassle-free unbiased “ Constructive Criticism “ , in a hurry
It is also the only way to silence those
“ head-in-the-sky “ PUNDITS !
