Is it fair to judge the Modi govt on a scale of 7/10.

@narendramodi @pmoindia .As the Modi govt celeberated its one year of good governance i checked all the papers and reports for the feedback.

A new trend has emerged with many of the media evaluating the govt on a scale of 10..anything less than 6 or 5 is fail, 7..8 is pass and ahove 8 is distinction..and so the Modi govt got an average of 7 by some leading newspapers.

This is like the TWO minutes maggi noodles. But governance is not all about fast junk food. Unfortunately with all the media publicity and brochures the BJP too cannot manage a good analysis and publication of what it has so well performed.

Coming back to the rating style of media, what does it mean..Had it been 6 it would have been poor and had it been 8 it would have been excellent.

Which means all the positives and negatives of the govt is absorbed with a rating of 7. Are the ratings so perfect...what does it tell anyway..?

There are many projects and policies launched..each of them have a certain weightage in terms of its importance and impact factor to the country. Further depending upon the sector the seriousness can be different.

For example a good policy in defense sector is different from one in bank accounts for the poor. So how does that be taken into consideration.

Therefore the whole exercise of evaluating the govt on a scale of 10 is a cheap exercise to keep readers and television watchers glued.

Nothing else..its a chewing gum given to people to pass time and entertain.There is no seriousness in the game.

It would have been better if the policies were evaluated independently . Given weightage and than clubbed with others to arrive at a consolidated average.

To cut short it ought to be a good mathematical and research exercise.
Therefore let us not give much importance to what the Modi govt got a 7/10 rating.

Its a junk number that does not have any value or importance.Hope the media and analysysts will come out with better analysis on the eve of second year of governance which will be a better parameter of how the govt is performing.

Until than let us keep the 7/10 ratings aside and work together to make the  country grow and develop economically and strategically.

HOPEFULLY THE PARTY WILL ALSO MANAGE ITS MEDIA AND PUBLICITY DIVISION WELL.
