You have rightly pointed out, in the above leader, that Rahul Gandhi
has been a " disappointment. " He has not come out with a single new
idea to unleash India's latent potential.While describing Narendra
Modi as " the best administrator" , you have added that he is
"divisive and authoritarian". He may be authoritarian, but he is not
divisive.He has promoted both agriculture and industry in Gujarat.By
providing facilities for industry, he has created employment
opportunities for people.Narmada canal has provided water to the arid
areas of the state.There is 24-hour electricity in all villages of
Gujarat. His latest is to cover the Narmada Canal with solar panels to
provide electricity to the surrounding villages while preventing
evaporation of water from the canal.Nobody else has thought of this.He
is imaginative and has a vision for the development of India.He is the
Man for India.
