When Narendra Modi issued orders that the fibre-glass barrier at the podium at Red Fort be removed at 2 a.m. the day before his Independence Day speech, it was more than symbolic. In an extraordinary election campaign,
Modi managed to connect instantly to the people, using local heroes, regional dialects and common concerns. He made a direct covenant with the voters: elect me and I will deliver. Ninety days into the new government, having voted overwhelmingly for him, India has kept both its faith and patience. In the India Today Group-Hansa Research Mood of the Nation opinion poll, the first after Modi took office, 57 per cent believe he is best suited to be prime minister, 48 per cent think he has made ministers irrelevant and 47 per cent are sure he will be able to resist the RSS agenda-having lived through the dyarchy of UPA years, voters want power and responsibility to be vested in the same office. If Indians had to go to polls again, 48 per cent say they would vote for BJP again which, though overwhelming, is still less than Modi's personal popularity. If a General Election were to be held today, BJP would get 314 seats, 32 more than on May 16.

Modi was always going to be India's chief executive officer. But he is its Chief Emotive Officer too, reaching out to previously uneasy communities with his firm displays of bi-partisanship, whether it was his moving speech in Parliament or his passionate Independence Day address. While 76 per cent respondents feel safe under the Modi Government, 68 per cent Muslims share the sentiment. Even more surprisingly, more Muslims say they will vote for the BJP (29 per cent) if they had to again, rather than for the Congress (24 per cent).
What's more, Modi seems to be in step with India, perhaps as a result of his famed system of feedback. According to the India Today Group-Hansa Research poll, 69 per cent believe textbooks need to be revised, 43 per cent do not want FDI in retail and an alarming 41 per cent believe that criminal proceedings for comments in Facebook are not an infringement of freedom of speech.
Buoyed by the BJP's tremendous victory, India is still a nation with hope, waiting patiently for achche din. As many as 49 per cent believe their financial situation will improve in future while 65 per cent think that the Modi Government will be able to put the economy back on track in the next six months.
