There are different approaches.

MMS says $1T investments are needed over next 10 years. This works out to be $100B/Yr

During the same time, India will have an average of $5-600B national savings (25-30% of GDP)

1. Making the already existing infra bonds more attractive by making some other avenues expensive.
2. Integrating NREGA, FSB, Gas-cylinders etc funds into Infra development projects. For example, instead of digging holes in ground or giving free food or Gas which is estimated to be about $40-50B per year; the same amount can be used to train and employ these down-trodden groups. Based on rough calculations this $40-50B funds can help create 4-5 million permanent jobs every year. So over 5 years, the govt will be creating 20-25million permanent jobs, thus permanently uplifting 100 million (8-9% of total population) Indians.

BTW, the problem is not access to capital as many people think. The real issue is this...

One of the Budget proposals to spur infrastructure investments — issuing tax-free bonds of Rs 50,000 crore — may prove a nonstarter because most institutions that can raise funds through this route have yet to spend cash raised through earlier bond sales. With infrastructure projects across sectors failing to take off in 2012-13 due to various delays, institutions such as National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and India Infrastructure Finance ..

OT
While I am not subscribing to the whole 'Paresh Rawal is anti-Hindu' part, the movie itself was kinda Hindu-bashing. I am very conflicted about that movie, though, cause on one hand it really glorified Sri Krishna, on the other hand bashed Hindu-culture and seers.

Thanks RamaY. Concerning integrating NREGA, FSB, gas-cylinders etc. into infra development projects, would a bill have to be passed in the parliament and if yes, what are the chances of getting it passed given that not many of the allies want to displease their voter-base?

One more question. What can people expect in the near future i.e. in the next year? Would the new govt. have something to show? Unfortunately, people want quick results and if the govt. has nothing to show, they are going to be disgruntled.

543 website says karnataka has 39% in favour of bjp and 35% for inc. namo 48% and RaGa 25% (must be highest in the country). I though karnataka voters are intelligent. 25% for RaGa casts a dark shadow on this.

And on NaMo in hindi heartland

What does the first day of 2014 marathon portray? It looks like the Tsunami called NaMo has more-or-less uprooted everything on its way in the Heartland which include Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Jharkhand.

most current one

Thus, if the secular socialists were hanging on to a last straw of Modi losing momentum, they would possibly be unpleasantly surprised on May 16th 2014. If the first phase of elections are anything to go by, then it is quite clear that Modi and BJP have the momentum with them.

All the wastefull schemes after being stopped would free up more resources. Con and its hydra like system(BSP,SP,JDU) gone would mean even more resources can be freed. Not to mention black money in switzerland.

I heard of a project proposal that was put out in back channels by PMO for deciding in what tranches the money should be brought back into the country and how it should be allocated to different sectors so as to minimize devaluation, but as some scientists got excited no further word was forthcoming from PMO. This was around 2010-2011 time frame. Probably this time around Cong(I) big wigs started different scams to add to the the already bloated Swiss accounts and MMS's conscience was KOed by the greedy.

I think you missed the utility of proper English. Muslims are massacred but there were only deaths of several Hindu who were extremist!

From the article,

"Under Mr Modi’s leadership as chief minister of Gujarat in February 2002, the state witnessed anti-Muslim massacres after the death of several Hindu extremist campaigners in a train fire, the cause of which has still not been established but which Mr Modi immediately pinned on Islamist forces."

Is India about to elect its Reagan?
Former Deputy Assistant Sec. of the Interior

India, the world’s largest democracy, is in the midst of a marathon five-week election that will result in the selection of its next prime minister. Although Nate Silver has yet to make it official, most pundits and prognosticators predict that Narendra Modi will be India’s next leader.Modi bears striking similarities to a celebrated American president: one Ronald Wilson Reagan. Both men rose from humble origins. Modi, in particular, worked from childhood hawking tea in railway stations. Both were popular and successful state governors: Modi is the chief minister (equivalent to a governor) of Gujarat, an Indian state whose gift to the world was Mahatma Gandhi. Modi, like Reagan, is an unabashed proponent of free market economics: “Modinomics,” the term coined to describe Modi’s free market and anti-corruption reforms, is of course a nod to “Reaganomics”; it has unleashed an economic boom in Gujarat.A major common denominator between the two men is the nature of their detractors. Like the U.S., India has cultural elitists who seem to desperately crave the approval of their former colonial masters in Europe. The Indian cultural elite despises Modi every bit as much as the American cultural elite despised Reagan. They look down their noses at Modi, cringing at the thought of being led by a common “tea seller” who can barely speak English. (Can you imagine Chinese or Russian citizens, proud of their own heritage, being ashamed that their leaders don’t speak English?)The American elites, of course, believed that Reagan was an unsophisticated simpleton who was too extreme to be president. Prior to his election, they issued dire warnings about the calamities that would ensue if Reagan came to power. The rest, as they say, is history, and the collapse of the Soviet empire left Reagan’s critics on the wrong side of it.The cultural elites labeled Reagan a racist. That’s a term they use for anyone who believes that a robust and growing market economy, rather than massive government bureaucracy, is the best way to promote upward mobility for the poor and minorities.
Modi, a proud Hindu, is also labeled by his critics as a racist. As with Reagan, the charge lacks merit and is stoked by political opponents seeking to sow fear (and hence cement support) in minority communities. In Modi’s case, the charge is linked to tragic events that occurred in Gujarat in 2002: A train carrying hundreds of Hindu pilgrims was set afire, killing about 60. Following reports that Muslim arsonists were responsible, anti-Muslim violence broke out and hundreds were killed. Modi took several steps to protect the besieged Muslim communities, including imposing curfews, issuing shoot-on-sight orders against rioters, and calling in the army.Still, political opponents accused him of not doing enough to prevent the violence, and even of condoning it. The Supreme Court of India launched a special investigation of the incident, and found the accusations against Modi to be unsubstantiated by the evidence. The Supreme Court’s conclusions have been ignored by Modi’s political opponents; they continue to profit politically by smearing Modi with India’s version of the “race card.”
It is a testament to the tolerance of India’s Hindu-majority society that it hosts several flourishing communities of other faiths. Neighboring Pakistan, by contrast, is a highly inhospitable environment for those who don’t subscribe to the majority Muslim religion. The religious minority communities that have managed to survive there are tiny and constantly under siege. Bangladesh has similar problems. When critics lob the evidence-free accusation that Modi is “intolerant” of religious minorities, they are certainly not applying the standards that prevail in the region.
Modi promises to take a tough stand against Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. In this regard, Americans would do well to remember that the Islamists are not fighting against the “West.” Islamists are fighting against all non-Islamic societies, including Buddhists in Thailand; Christians in Nigeria, the Philippines, Chechnya, Cyprus, Kosovo, Bosnia, Macedonia, Côte d’Ivoire, Sudan, and Timor-Leste; Jews in Israel; minority communities throughout the Muslim world — and, quite prominently, Hindus in India. India is very much on the front lines of what we used to call the War on Terror, before our leaders lost the nerve to name it. Modi — with his assertive posture against Pakistan reminiscent of Reagan’s stance against the Soviet Union — should be a valuable natural ally.

There are different approaches.

2. Integrating NREGA, FSB, Gas-cylinders etc funds into Infra development projects. For example, instead of digging holes in ground or giving free food or Gas which is estimated to be about $40-50B per year; the same amount can be used to train and employ these down-trodden groups.

This is my personal opinion only!

1/ They can add items that create permanent employment under NREGA program, instead of just hole digging. For example, they can bring Food processing plants, infra projects under NREGA program.
2/ FSB currently sends (IIRC) cash to bank accounts for BPL families. GoI must have a database of all these beneficiaries of FSB. GoI can offer to give an (one time or tax) incentive to companies that hire people (for permanent jobs - GoI can define what it means including health insurance, pension etc) from this database. Link it with one time payment for skill development (drivers, engine operators etc.,) and this can work wonders.
3/ Based on Modi's Gujarat model;
3.1 I expect to see 30-50 projects implemented in the scale of Latur rehabilitation in the 1st year alone. That means 30-50 districts (out of 672 districts) will see visible development (show cases) improvement in drinking water, electricity, roads and PHCs. He can easily find 50 honest, effective and efficient IAS officers. My guess is he will select 2-3 districts per state and put all energies behind them.
3.2 He will spend all those infra bonds collected by NHDA in year 1 alone - 4-5000 KM highways
3.3 He can give 24x7 electricity to all villages that already have 3phase connectivity by clearing the coal production issues and tapping into 10-20,000MW established generation capacity.
3.4 Law & order is a state subject. But I expect to see lot of coordination between the agencies in solving inter-state issues.

I am certain - as much as I could be and by putting on the hat of corrupt politician- the money is not in rupee form. It will most likely be in dollar pound euro format. No conversion needed. It could be used by GOI by using its own subsidiary based overseas and can be called FDI. No rupee fall but money comes in to be used in whatever way the GOI deems right. It could also be used to buy assets overseas. A semiconductor factory here, a rare earth mine there or thinking laterally - a joint venture with arms manufacturer to set up a factory in India or even more laterally- set up Indian NGO who is just going to build 'sauchalya' facilities in India.

I doubt it can be 'one shot' even if we want it to. i can only imagine the number of banks and their processes and procedures that must be pursued to bring out the account details, and send notices to the account owner to explain and slap charges and prosecute and judgement and only then there will be repatriation of that money back to india.

this is a long process and an unprecedented one for us, so it will be quite time consuming. need to put good investigators with enough authority, responsibility and accountability - and set up special courts to process these cases speedily.

Gus: I think even a whiff of getting it back will affect the rupee (both internally in the form of inflation) and externally (devaluation vis-a-vis a basket of currencies). Had to be done carefully and in tranches. The best bet is not bring into the country at all but use it for balance of payments shortfall in export/import as well as pay off IMF/WB debts. First step is to stop taking any kind of developmental aid from anybody but most specifically from UK and US and the assorted Nordics and shut down the NGO gravy train to the "scholarly" (i.e. not spending their time in teaching and research but politicizing) academics.

This appears to be a big big self-goal by MMJ. He does not seem to get it at all - it is now becoming one such a election where all you need to do to win in a Northern India or even Western India Lok Sabha seat .... is to put up a STICK, with a topi, a shirt, a pant, give it a name and the official party nomination to stand on behalf of BJP party from the seat and it seems - it will win. Maybe I am exaggerating a bit too much ..but readers will get the drift, i hope. It's a Modi wave - STUPID. Be happy - you got a BJP nomination for a seat in UP and you may even get a shot at becoming a Central Minister.

But, at this rate - I am afraid that MMJ is going to loose @ Kanpur. Absence of BJP workers at various booths in Kanpur voting centers on election day might well be the main reason for it. Seems the Physics Professor's ego levels are too jacked up for him to accept the reality that his win is only going to happen due to the wave manifesting for a simpleton chaiwala who was once reporting to him (a couple of decades back) .... hope MMJ is not BJP's Mani Shankar Aiyar !!!.

Folks,

Interesting debate on twitter that I happened to witness.

The WaPo or NYT lady who wrote the Anti Modi article got called "House N****o" by someone and she retorted: Well what about Muslims supporting Modi, aren't they of the same kind?

It is a good retort. However House Slaves usually align to the existing power structure and not the opposing party who has no real power at the moment, other than that I just had to wonder what a good come back to that would be.
