Understanding why it is really hard for Modiji or Amit Shah ji to improve India fully in 5 years
One is a government school in China and the other is in India. This is just for context:
We know Modi was able to make things 100x better in things like UPI etc - because he had full power to execute. Bureaucrats were limited and did not have power to derail the plan.
But most things in India use bureaucrats in between and all of them have huge power (like the mid day food schemes). Honest bureaucrats cannot do much because they get sidelined. The system allows only fraudulent bureaucrats to remain in power.
So even if Modi gives huge money and freedom to bureaucrats, they will never do anything correct. Because the system is such.
And because of this system, so many others like businessmen (private hospitals, colleges etc), people who get tenders, relatives of these bureaucrats, retired bureaucrats who have started businesses etc. make huge money. This group of people is the real power in India.
Real Indian rulers = Bureaucrats + Businessmen + some politicians
Even if Modi ji knows that bureaucrats are the root cause, he still cannot do much because the constitution does not give any power to the PM to remove any bureaucrats. The only thing he can do is to ask for an investigation report - but that again is done by another bureaucrat who is part of the same system.
He will have to do all these steps against all such bureaucrats (every step can take 1 year - so 20 steps = 20 years):
Complaint → preliminary investigation → chargesheet → officer's response → inquiry officer → evidence → witnesses → cross-examination → inquiry report → disciplinary authority → representation/decision → punishment → appeal/review → tribunal/court challenge
This nexus is the real reason why India cannot improve.
We cannot simply keep blaming Modi ji or anyone like that for these issues. Somehow the bureaucrats should be made fully accountable and systems should be made for that.
Removing Delhi Gymkhana was a good start. But we all know how they all formed a group and hit back at Modi.
Many of us are not aware of this huge hidden power which rules India. They have power, money but have zero accountability.
And whenever anything goes wrong, even media will blame only the PM though they know very well that it's bureaucrats who game the whole system.
In China/USA/UAE if bureaucrats wont do things as ordered, they can be removed and prisoned within 15 days. In India it is 20+ years because Indian constitution allows this.
