Modi’s diaspora thrust is aimed at deflecting the anti-FDI lobby back home Using NRIs to Hush Swadeshis

Modi’s diaspora thrust is aimed at deflecting the anti-FDI lobby back home Using NRIs to Hush Swadeshis
There was another ‘Madison Square Garden’ moment on the US West Coast last Sunday. Leading the charge of the unprecedented hype accompanying Narendra Modi’s second visit to the US were the non-resident Indians (NRIs) there. The Prime Minister has quickly grasped that the key to improving Indo- US ties is to have the giant American MNCs in his camp rooting for him.
Moreover, to ensure that he is not castigated by the liberal elite, both in the US and in India, Modi used the Digital India forum to underline his commitment for eliminating the deeply entrenched ‘digital divide’ back home in India. Like his JAM (Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, Mobile) strategy, Digital India is slated to be a huge step forward for making future economic growth in India more inclusive.
It is surprising to hear criticism, including from former BJP ministers, over ‘the inordinate amount of time’ and attention Modi has spent outside the country. The criticism often comes with advice on the need for greater attention on domestic reforms, sorting out nitty-gritty governance issues, and building bridges with opposition parties. Such criticism is shortsighted, naive and misplaced.
One reason for Modi’s foreign visits has been to woo foreign investors to India. But the more important motivation is evident in Modi’s special effort at mobilising NRIs wherever he has gone. He has interacted with them, listening to their feedback and not restricted these meetings to being ‘photo-ops’.

Ram Madhav, one of the most perceptive and well regarded general secretaries in the BJP, has been tasked by Modi for the assignment.
This shows the importance Modi gives to his NRI interactions. Being until very recently an RSS pracharak, Madhav’s deputation for the task implies RSS backing for Modi’s NRI thrust.

This thrust on NRIs is principally directed at pre-empting and deflecting the likely criticism from the Swadeshi lobby within his own party and other affiliates of the Sangh Parivar, not to mention the sundry socialist and Left forces against FDI coming into India. Congress leader Ahmed Patel has already accused the government this week of being “held hostage by a few foreign corporations”.

Bombay Club, Ver 2.0 They are covertly supported by a segment of India Inc that would rather have foreign investors stay away. We can recall how shrill and strident Swadeshi criticism had become during Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure. It made his and finance minister Yashwant Sinha’s lives miserable and reforms increasingly difficult.
Modi is aware of this potential minefield and has used the NRI card NRIs watch Modi’s speech on big screen at the Arena Green East Park, San Jose to pre-empt it. He has forced the Swadeshi lobby to recognise that with so many of our kith and kin succeeding so handsomely in their professions in this globalised world, the distinction between FDI and domestic investors is spurious. The only issue that matters is the creation of jobs.

By bringing together Indian CEOs of global corporate giants like Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Sundar Pichai (Google), Indra Nooyi (PepsiCo), Shantanu Narayen (Adobe) and Ajaypal Banga (MasterCard) on the same platform with him, Modi has ensured that the Swadeshi lobby looks churlish if it decides to oppose FDI brought in by MNCs led by these NRIs.

It is crucial that Modi succeeds in this effort to fend off the emotive and downright xenophobic calls from the lobby that has the potential for derailing the development agenda. On the other hand, the announcement about Google and Indian Railways working together to provide 500 stations with Wi-Fi hotspots will surely cheer the 950 million mobile phone-users, many of whom are young and quite low down on the income pyramid.

Thus, Modi’s foreign visits actually have a domestic agenda.

Modi also urgently needs to attract large volumes of FDI with some big names to turn around the present downcast sentiment among domestic investors. Balance sheets of a large number of domestic companies are badly stressed, making them incapable of expanding capacities.

Their problems will take time to resolve as it involves major restructuring of the power, highways and ports sectors where projects are stalled and cash flows are jammed. At the same time, the lack of significant fiscal space does not permit a full-blown Keynesian bailout through largescale public spending.

Finally, measures for improving the ease of doing business will expectedly take time as states have to be brought on board and decades-old habits and mindsets need rewiring. As Modi said in his Facebook town hall meet, India is like a train with a very long turning radius and not a scooter that can be quickly turned around.

Helping, Not Foreign, Hand Modi is well aware of the need for greater attention to domestic policy reforms. But he has to neutralise the likely opposition to these reforms before he can implement them.

For this, even an absolute majority in the Lok Sabha does not suffice. Necessary coalitions have to be created in the social space. He is trying to do this with the help of the NRIs. This is a domestic agenda.

FOOD INDUSTRY ACTION COMMITTEE SLAM FSSAI    

The National Joint Action Committee (NJAC), a consortium of national organisations of different verticals of food industry has charged the Food Safety & Standards Authority (FSSAI) for devising measures to nail the food industry as a consequence of its loosing the battle in Supreme Court on issue of advisories issued by FSSAI and which has been held unlawful by the apex Court. NJAC has alleged that FSSAI is preparing to impose some adhoc provisions by redefining Food, Proprietary Food and Nutraceutical Food which will run the food business in India to a great extent. The said action of the FSSAI shall be arbitrary, unjustified and unscientific and shall be opposed tooth & nail by the entire food industry and if need be the industry will not hesitate to knock the doors of Courts once again.

Recently,Ministry of Health has issued some revised definitions on plain paper in this respect which has been viewed by experts as a grave violation of principles of natural justice. The sector is already suffering from the overarching practices of FSSAI Such an approach may cause serious unrest amongst the Trade, Transporters and other verticals of food industry. The NJAC has sought immediate intervention of Union Health Minister Mr. J.P.Nadda.

Mr. Praveen Khandelwal, Chairman of the Committee and Secretary General of the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said that FSSAI should desist itself from arbitrary working and should not violate principles of probity and transparency and work in a participatory manner. He has demanded that instead of redefining, the FSSAI should hold technical deliberations on regulations already drafted on Nutraceutical Food and Food Additives and work out its effective implementation.

Mr. Sandeep Gupta Co-Chairman of the Committee said that such arbitrary practice, non-transparent and posing restriction to trade is only reflecting vindictive intent of authorities and overruling directions of Apex court as well as illegal means of gaining power which is highly unconstitutional and uncalled for.
