DEBATE (1)

Narendra Modi is a clever administrator with a foresight. Hence instead of supporting a business house or two , he will create competition among the business houses to multiply his developmental index.

NAMO is pro development, man of tremendous administrative capacity

I have worked in Gujarat in Banking & Finance field with H Q at Ahmedabad from 1995 to 2007 and now I visit Ahmedabad periodically.

It is a admitted fact that NAMO is pro development, man of tremendous administrative capacity & capability and has changed the face of Gujarat in every field - be it infrastructure ( roads, ports power generation ( including solar power ) & distributions, it may be Tourism, may be agriculture. Even State Government undertaking are now mostly profit making or closed/privatized. All progressive business group are bound to be benefited. Critics are saying he is close to few business man and also alleging closeness to Adani Group. One must not forget that Modi is one who took Tata Group/Maruti to Gujarat. He has the capacity & capability to bring foreign investment for infrastructure from Countries like Japan.

Now coming to your query what I have observed that Adani Group has grown in the past few years tremendously and they have contributed immensely to the development of Gujarat as compared to any other business group . Hence while each and every progressive group will be benefited Adani Group may be benefited more being the Home Grown group well entrenched and again a very progressive group.
