Gujarat best example of effective governance: US Cong report
Washington, Sept 14 (PTI) Identifying western Indian
state Gujarat as perhaps the best example of effective
governance and impressive development in India, a
Congressional report showered praise on the Chief Minister
Narendra Modi and said that the state under him has become a
key driver of national economic growth.
Gujarat, is followed by Bihar and its Chief Minister
Nitish Kumar, for his governance and administrative skills,
the latest report of the Congressional Research Service (CRS)
on India said.
"Perhaps India's best example of effective governance and
impressive development is found in Gujarat, where
controversial Chief Minister Narendra Modi has streamlined
economic processes, removing red tape and curtailing
corruption in ways that have made the state a key driver of
national economic growth," said the CRS report.
An independent and bipartisan wing of the US Congress,
the CRS prepares periodic reports on issues of interest to the
US lawmakers.
The 94-page report was released by the CRS for US
lawmakers on September 1, a copy of which made public by the
Federation of American Scientists.
"Seeking to overcome the taint of his alleged complicity
in 2002 riots, Modi has overseen heavy investment in modern
roads and power infrastructure, and annual growth of more than
11 per cent in recent years," the CRS said.
Gujarat, the CRS said, has attracted major international
investors such as General Motors and Mitsubishi and with only
five per cent of the country's population, the state now
accounts for more than one-fifth of India's exports, it said.
The CRS mentions Bihar after Gujarat in good governance.
"Another positive example in 2011 has been Bihar, one of
India's poorest states, where Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has
won national attention through his considerable success in
emphasising good governance over caste-based politics.
"He is credited with restoring law and order across much
of the state, as well as overseeing infrastructure and
educational improvements of direct benefit to common citizens
projects," the report said.
"Kumar's Janata Dal (United) party, in alliance with the
main national opposition BJP, won an overwhelming re-election
majority in November 2010 state elections," the report said.
