NARENDRA MODI'S SELECTED QUOTES ON GOVERNENCE

BJP is a political party with a difference that aims at good governance. This is proved by the fact that three of the five Chief Ministers according to a recent NDTV survey/poll are from BJP-ruled states.

Good Governance cannot remain merely a philosophy. Concrete steps have to be taken for realizing its goals.

People’s participation is the essence of good governance.

For achieving good governance political will is necessary. Good governance is a political process. Though role of civil society is critical, without political will and political process, sustainable good governance cannot be achieved.

Many state governments have launched innovative steps such as Ladli Laxmi scheme of Madhya Pradesh, PDS reform scheme of Chattisgarh, computerization of land records in Karnataka, free computers to students passing 10th standard exams, pollution control efforts in Himachal, power sector reforms in Rajasthan and Mumbai- Pune Expressway in Maharashta. These excellent innovative schemes are examples of good governance

Team Work is the essence of good governance. It is necessary to form a team within the party and also within the administrative system.

Good governance depends on ability to take responsibility by both administration as well as people.

Pro-active good governance aims beyond short-term requirement keeping in mind the long-term needs such as the use of clean technology and in preparedness and mitigating climate change fallout etc.

While transparency reduces corruption, good governance goes beyond transparency in achieving openness. Openness means involving the stakeholders in decision-making process. Transparency is the right to information while openness is the right to participation.

Good governance needs self-discipline. Only discipline within can ensure discipline without.

Good governance is not fire-fighting or crisis-management. Instead of opting for ad-hoc solutions the need of the hour is to tackle the root cause of the problems.

Understanding strengths and weaknesses is very essential in setting forth a clean administration and for sustainable and lasting solutions

Good governance is treating development as a mass movement in order to see that fruits of development reach the poor and the downtrodden.

Contrary to the prevailing notion that good governance is bad politics, in reality good governance is good politics. A government should work keeping in mind the welfare of future generations, not the next election.

Mere good governance is not enough; it has to be pro-people and pro-active. Good governance is putting people at the center of development process.

From my experience of having served for 3000 days, I can say that anything can be achieved.

There is no red tapism in my state, only red carpet.

My struggle is to bring 'life' in 'file'.

Individual efforts can bring excellence but only collective efforts can deliver effectively.

Gujarat is all about Trade with Tradition, Commerce with Culture, Enterprise with Entertainment and Development with Disaster management.
