As Narendra Modi took Oath of PM's Office, peoples expectation ran high. People all across the country are hopeful for a brighter future for the nation. Our beauty queens, as representatives of India, and more than anything else, as aware citizens, voiced their opinions on Narendra Modi and the BJP government.
Miss India World 2014 Koyal Rana is hopeful, as she believes that the BJP government has a good chance of resuscitating the country's underperforming economy. "Mr. Modi's victory has disproved an article of political faith from the past three decades: that India's messy democracy, cursed by strong regional and caste-based parties, could produce only fragmented outcomes and weak coalition governments. This victory should mean stable, decisive and predictable rule."
Miss India Earth 2013 Sobhita Dhulipala draws an analogy from the Ramayana, as she says, "It seems as though, India in its 66th year of independence has acclaimed its own version of political dussehra. I believe that a great leader doesn't create miracles but merely awakens the potential in every citizen. I see our youth awaken to a new level of awareness and participation. I'm very thrilled, overwhelmed and anxious to witness India roar to glory in the next 5 years of BJP rule. Cheers to a new beginning! Jai ho!"
Miss Asia Pacific World 2013 Srishti Rana puts forward that the whole country has a lot of expectations from the new government. "A lot of people have shown their faith and now its their turn to live up to the faith of millions of people. I give my best wishes to Mr. Modi and the BJP. I hope they work towards gender equality and education for all."
Miss Diva 2013 Manasi Moghe asks all Indians to support the elected government irrespective of their previous preferences. "It is every Indian citizen's right and duty to work towards a better India, and we must give our full support to our leaders in implementing all the progressive plans for a shining future."
