NaMo supports GST = VAT + Service Tax , and NaMo also perhaps supports FDI en-masse including supports FDI in retail
Many moons ago, I had said that MNC-owners will use threat of AK to force BJP-leaders to remove or weaken Swadeshi , Hindutva etc from BJP-manifesto. Well, either that, or whatever may be the reason, NaMo has declared support GST. GST is combination of VAT and Service Tax , with some superficial simplifications, but essentially all elements of Service Tax and VAT are there.
Another statement of NaMo can be seen as IMPLICIT support to en-masse FDI including FDI in retail. It is not an outright open statement though. The statement is " country's millions of family-owned traders must learn to work with large modern stores and online retailers, in comments that could signal a shift in thinking."
"[Modi] urged Indian business not to fear global challenges ... "
"I don't know whether it will benefit me politically or not... There is no need to be scared by the global challenges. Convert the challenges into opportunity," Modi said, while urging them to concentrate on quality and weeding out unscrupulous elements.

The statements are cleverly worded support for FDI including FDI in retail.
NaMo asks Indian businesses to compete against global biggies from day one. And I am NOT sure if he can improve courts or improve administrative rules on which business depend heavily on day one or even next 5 years. So local businesses will get crushed. They will become sub-contractors at best. The increase in dominance of MNC-owners will also strengthen Missionaries in long run.
Solution I propose is that nationalists should start supporting law-drafts that would improve efficiency of local industrialists. They should NOT hope that NaMo will bring these laws, as NaMo will be dependent on MNC-paid-mediamen for long time to come. Also, MNC-owners will ensure that BJP is forced to give tickets to many MNC-agents in BJP , and so even if NDA has 300-350 MPs, most of them will be MNC-agents.
Which laws-drafts can reduce inefficieny of local businesses? There is a long list, I have given the list in chap-19, chap-20, chap-21 and chap-22 of rahulmehta . com / 301.htm
