Describing his 'Make In India' initiative a "win-win" proposition, Modi said the foreign investors should not treat India merely as a market, but should focus on turning it to a manufacturing hub with a view to increase the purchasing power of Indians.

>>>Are you saying $100 Billion investment is not enough or the investment itself is a bad idea? I thought your gripe was Modi's US visit was all show and was not going to bring in any business. So far, it looks like this guy is walking the talk to me.

I am worried about this all. What if it turns out to be only $99.9 Billion investment. Poor Modi will be called a liar again.

No way. In fact, even as we bicker here, those master strategists from Nagpur have used their contacts on Capitol Hill to get Congress to divert all the billions earmarked for Pakistan to India. The bill was drafted and manouvred by the unseen hand of the Supreme Leader God who had to return prematurely to India due to pressing commitments but it will nevertheless pass thanks to the tireless efforts of NRI patriots. Of course, none of these details will be known for the next 15 years until ABP Live, that bastion of fine journalism unearths these details.

Oh and if you snort in disbelief at any of this, you must be a sickular agent of the Congoons.

Ah yes, Tavarish. I see that the Narodnyy Komissariat Vnutrennikh Del mentality is well and alive among the comrades.

At a recent investors summit, PM Narendra Modi spoke about how investment worth $100 billion was waiting to come in from the US, Japan and China. It is for the states to seize this opportunity, he said at that meeting.

Since becoming PM, Modi has tried to talk up confidence among investors and business — by announcing the “Make In India” campaign; by interacting with CEOs on his trips to Japan and the US; and by affirming how he is committed to getting India’s economy back on track. These sound bites do send out the right signals to local and foreign investors but if Modi wants to spur investments, boost growth and create jobs, his government will have to bite some bullets, many of them not sugarcoated.

Business lobbies have a laundry list of the policies they want changed — that’s pretty much everything since Independence! Here is a shorter to-do list that may be more pragmatic to hope for but still fraught with risks.
