There are gaps in Modi's vision that need filling

This is a marked – and refreshingly welcome - departure from the overburdened welfare state paradigm that held the country down for a little under 68 years since independence.

 The state had spread itself thin over so many areas that it has not been able to be effective in the areas where it is needed the most. His lament that 20 years of liberalisation have not resulted in a dismantling of the command and control mindset, 

which thinks it is all right for the government to meddle in business, is spot on, and something not even the architect of reforms, Manmohan Singh, admitted.
