My predictions about NDA's second term have come true. BJP under Prime Minister Modi's leadership and Shri Amit Shah's meticulous planning have grown by leaps and bound. However, this victory should neither be seen as public endorsement of Modi's policies nor should it be seen as satisfaction of people with Modi's regime. This is a vote for stability and decisive leadership over corrupt, uncertain and divisive leadership of the likes of Bua and Babua. Therefore, Modi 2.0 has a lot of ground to cover if it really wish to bring real structural and transformative change in India's landscape. Here are listed top 10 policy priority for Modi 2.0 to bring some churning and produce fruitful results for our nation.
1. Financial profiling of each and every individual whether exempted or not. Major reforms in Income Tax necessary. Remove all tax declaration related exemptions rather public should compulsorily declare all the income(even single penny) and then whatever exemption/deduction rules are applicable, they should be put in place.
2. Real time communication and information exchange between all the government department. So for example, if a person is leaving the country then immediately Income tax and police and other ministeries should come to know by transfer of data in real time from customs to Income Tax etc. Similarly, if person buying new vehicle and getting registered with RTO, Income Tax should be informed immediately.
3. Technology wherever possible. For example, why can't we put camera in city and send fine notice after reviewing images on camera in the back office.Computerise wherever possible and focus on usability and data analysis. Punitive and technology intensive policing need to be emphasised.
4. Major emphasis on computer literacy, digitalization and digital linking so that information asymmetry can end in the country.
5. Land reforms like land register so that we can map property related to each and every individual. Similarly crowd control, pollution control and population control strategies should be clearly thought out and implemented.
6. 365 day 24*7 vocational education and business establishment workshops with substantive content.
7. Make Rehabilitation and resettlement ministry and laws so that in every city, we can start planning things properly. Mandatory trees in every house. Road design. Street vendor management, urban planning. Whatever needs to be changed, should be changed. Take advantage of competitive federalism in this regard.
8. Electoral reforms by way of bringing changes in constitution. 2 times election in every five years. No confidence motion applicable only when we have alternate government formation possible like Germany. All the state and center election at be held at 30th month or 60th month. In between only work and development.
9. Deliver on all the big infra projects in a timely fashion and plan in futuristic sense of things.
10. Start planning now and in 3 years time, reduce the cash usage by 50% atleast. Make PAN declaration necessary for every cash transaction above 1000rs .
