An open letter to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi

An open letter to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi

Congratulations on forming the government again. As you take the office again, here is a wish list from a common man.

Dear Prime Minister, I hope,

1. Now, you will bring full separation between religion & politics and discourage anyone who mixes them
2. Now, you do not worry about the vote bank and take action against people like Brij Bhushan for atrocities against women
3. Bring the uniform civil code systematically with dialogue. Don't lose the opportunity by hastily passing laws and enforcing them like it was done with the good Farm bills
4. ⁠Throw away the so called ‘washing machine’ with which you included many corruption-accused people into your party
5. Make institutions like ED and CBI strong and independent so that in future they are fair irrespective of who is in the government. ⁠Don't selectively intimidate the opposition.
6. ⁠Don't encourage a system that locks people in jail for months without proof. And if there is proof, speed up the proceedings and convict them.
7. Don't drum beat about the last 70 years of Congress’ failure and the evil of Nehru. The RTI, Aadhaar, MNREGA, food ration guarantee bills were all passed by non-BJP. Bring more reforms!
8. In future elections, use development, corruption removal and cleanliness (and not caste, maans, machchi, mangalsutra) as the instruments of vote appeal.
9. Enrich the common man & woman to see through political propaganda

Wishing us Indians a bright and clean future!
