A quick look at statistics shows that not only has PM Modi's following gone up seven fold since 2014, but e-governance initiatives by various ministries have enabled many citizens to resolve problems by registering complaints through Twitter.

The opposition&#39;s elusive search for a coherent narrative to take on BJP has defined Narendra Modi&#39;s three years in office &mdash; a desperation that now appears to border on a crisis in the wake of the saffron sweep of UP.

The NDA government appears to have made a dent in the working of the bureaucracy that seemed plagued by compartmentalisation, which turned ministries and departments into silos, stalling the smooth exchange of ideas.

In its three years in office, the Modi government has scrapped more than a thousand laws, some dating to the Raj that detailed rules for killing elephants and how to deal with spy pigeons. But the several laws that have been amended and the fresh ones that have been passed reflect the government's intent to quicken the pace of economic change and extend its political constituency to the underprivileged apart from the country's middle classes.
