The thumping majority that the BJP has got should also lead to a review of its economic policies of the past five years which either failed miserably or caused havoc to development. For example, projects found detrimental to agrarian interests should be dropped. Instead of continuing to polarise people, development should be the main goal. Those elected must be given a work schedule to be executed within a stipulated period. This is also a great opportunity for Mr. Modi to blossom into a statesman. In the last five years, he was only a politician.
