www.outlookindia.com | Narendra Modi, Prime Minister?: "In his 10 years as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi can take credit for implementing development-oriented policies that have delivered results that no contemporary Indian politician can match up to. These are best showcased by his ability to attract industry into Gujarat: Vibrant Gujarat summits have attracted hundreds of billions of dollars of investment and launched a new Industrial Revolution in Gujarat. What is less known is that agricultural growth rate in Gujarat over the last decade is close to 7 percentage points higher than the all India figure. Lakhs of check dams have been built, water conservation measures taken and the overall health of the water table improved. Through the Jyotigram Yojna, Modi has delivered uninterrupted power supply to villages across the state. He has come up with innovative solutions like evening courts to reduce the backlog of pending cases and special incentives and schemes to educate the girl child. He personally donates gifts made to him for these schemes. He has held training courses for over 5 lakh government employees in an attempt to improve governance. The roads and ports of Gujarat have been made among the best in the country. Modi has himself written a book on climate change and has succeeded in developing significant wind and solar energy power projects."
