Modi: BJP's Nehru

Modi shows all signs of being in the Prime Minister's seat for three terms. I take two terms for granted. I think he might also do a third stint.

According to the World Bank, India's current GDP is $6 trillion. If it grows at 10% it doubles every seven years. So by the time Modi's 15 years are over, the GDP should hit $24 trillion.

Anything less than that, and I am going to say Modi failed. Only such a rapid growth could lift hundreds of millions of Indians out of poverty.
