Narendra Modi

 

Political leaders only play politics, try to understand and announce whatever decisions government(executive) take. Sure, they do play a part in setting a tone to get things done on varying priority-basis at the most, and also, they do represent people's aspirations, but one needs to understand that things are DEEPER than that(just representing)... a government runs one way, it has already been set in motion, the brains - the KEY, lies with bureaucrats, the political leaders are bound to listen to bureaucrats who've been working their ass off for years together to chart a policy/plan. This is not subject to changes by people that come and go every 5 years ~ those people that have no knowledge about real solid things like policies that affect nation on different level, I say, they have not even an idea of how the government actually functions, the web of nuances/complextities in the government... trust me, my father's a government servant.

 

Now, now, let us not underestimate the power of the political leader. He/they are the ones that energises, inspires people(workers and citizens as well). Their charisma affects the nation, even on an international forum. Their communication to citizens is important...especially in a country like India. Their influence on executive(positive or negative) is very very sensitive... the kind of priorities they attach to certain issues, affects the functioning of the government. THUS, a good PM is required...but it really doesnt matter 😆

Because, remember, before the administrative apparatus, the political leader is almost like a puppet(considering his inexperience in real administration).

 

Development is not dependent on political head... it's highly impossible I say. Political heads are on their toes, not because of their 'character' but because the administration(executive and judiciary) has become that strong.

 

will come back and edit this, feels like I am not clearly articulating some points.
