However the Prime Minister needs to be weary of obstructions to his determination to drive India towards modernization by achieving the higher pace of economic growth. The global consulting agencies predict five to five and half per cent growth rate for the Indian economy in the next decade though they also concede India has potential of taking it beyond eight per cent with consistent efforts.
NaMO has understood the basic element that India needs to stand with the developed world to have its place and stature but it can be achieved through higher economic growth by activating the dormant deprived class.

The last Lok Sabha election that brought him to the position of the Prime Minister from his humbler beginning of life was an unprecedented display of courage and faith of Indians in their democracy. It made the world leaders to review India with a different measure since China was suffering in pace of its economic growth after its drive at a higher pace of the last three decades.

NaMo listed five T, Talent, Traditions, Tourism, Trade and Technology as his priorities. He had visited virtually every developed nation to lure its capital and capitalists to bring their production units and technology to India to accelerate the pace of economic growth and expand the employment opportunities. He promised the ageing world that young of India with skills would be willing to keep their wheels of progress moving as they face shortcomings in skilled but young hands.

For enticing them to come to India, he needed to provide them evidence of the changed India where only the economic thought prevails and old political, economic and social considerations have been a tradition of the past,. With this exterior motive he undertook to win the Bihar election on the plank of the economic development to prove that young in Bihar defamed for the caste based politics for ages have abandoned old percepts and vote for the economic agenda only. NaMO had a fair chance of success but for his detractors within did not want him to win on the new plank, however relevant. It would have made them irrelevant and their ninety year efforts to turn India into theological state based Hinduism.

The provocative incidents over cow politics, caste equations and Pakistan bashing erupted suddenly and were timed with the voting in Bihar. The Sangh chief Mohan Bhyagwat demanded review of the reservations policy to strike a terror in hearts of the Other Backward Classes and the Dalit to bring them together to protect their advantages in the reservations that they enjoyed for the past seventy years. The upper caste rules had not opened the economic i9nstsatitutions to their entry in for the past seven decades.

The strategies evolved were aimed at immediate result of thwarting plans of Narendra Modi without comprehension of a large message he was attempting to convey to the world. The saboteurs succeeded in immediate gain without realizing the message they efforts conveyed to the deprived and the Dalit of their political combination to keep levers of power in their hand. They had achieved what every media group had predicted as impossible.

However the Bihar election outcome has not caused a similar elation of short sights in many groups who see in consolidation of the OBCs and the Dalits in a dominant group a danger to their supremacy for centuries. Their reactions would soon follow can be seen from the new agitation launched in Karnataka against shoe makers for using the cow hide. The agitators claim to hurt to their feelings to see use of cow hide for foot wears. For three thousand years, it had not hurt anyone. Suddenly it has pinched conscience of some. It is an indicator of the kind of clashes that would be imposed by different groups to hurt economic interests of the groups that are asserting for their share in political power. Even the agitation of Patidars over the reservations in Gujarat is not a flash in the pan. The socially and economically better class is questioning the continuation of the policy that caused injustice to the upper class aspirations.

In the factional games, three seniors in the party sought to push the Prime Minister Narendra Modi with their insistence that individuals would need to take the responsibility for the humiliation. They are nursing grouse that they have been marginalized in the new political dispensation that came along with Narendra Modi. Without naming NaMO they tried to shove the responsibility at his door steps. NaMo did not react to the efforts of the old.

But he cannot remain silent and without action to convey his displeasure over the challenge to his authority. Unless he takes shots at the elements in conservative class that disrupted his march to the modernisation of India at a rapid pace, he would have to face a serious crisis within as his silence would be construed as his weakness and his desire to cling to the seat of power. He can hardly afford to remain a weakling and yet hope to accelerate the pace of the economic growth. His silence and refusal to call shots now would mean that his talk of the last fifteen months was nothing more than a bravado. It would not provide him strength to face the crisis that is coming in the potential of the class clashes as inevitable consequence to the Bihar outcome.
