Why Gujarat miracle matters
Abstract:
For some time now, a debate has raged on both the economic performance of Gujarat and its chief minister Narendra Modi. Critics of Gujarat say that the state hardly ranks at the top of any indicator and that the hype over it is the result of effective public relations by Modi.
Modi critics say that he is hardly the only successful chief minister in the country: look at what Nitish Kumar has accomplished in Bihar, Prithviraj Chavan in Maharashtra and Bhupinder Singh Hooda in Haryana.
