For a $2.4 trillion economy, our infrastructure is pathetic, whether it be rail, road or air connectivity. To improve this situation, the Modi government has initiated some much-needed and some incredible infra projects. Here's a thread enumerating those! 🚄 #WhyModiIn2019
* The Chenab Railway Bridge will be the world's highest. The total length of the bridge will be 1,315 metres. It'll withstand wind speeds of 260 kmph; quakes up to 8 in magnitude and high-intensity blasts; and its life span will be 120 years. #WhyModiIn2019
* A whopping Rs 5,35,000 crore have been allocated for the Bharatmala Project aimed at boosting road connectivity in the country. This will naturally create many jobs and improve logistics. #WhyModiIn2019
🔹The deadline for the completion of the bullet train was set for August 15, 2023; it has now been advanced to 2022. Another example of how work is done by the Narendra Modi government! #WhyModiIn2019
🔸The government will spend up to $12 billion in upgrading the signalling system on its entire rail network of 60,000 km over the next six years to the contemporary European Train Control System (or ETCS). #WhyModiIn2019 hindustantimes.com/india-news/12-…

Went to a SBI Mutual Fund seminar yesterday. They talked of two of their funds — equity hybrid fund and a blue chip fund. The hybrid fund had 50% in large caps and 50% in mid/small cap stocks (and maybe a max of 10% in cash/debt) while the blue chip fund is all large caps.
A very simple understanding of the two in comparative terms — 1) Equity hybrid fund — More risk and expected return due to the 50% in mid and small caps; apt for investors who have tolerance and ability for greater risk 2) Blue chip fund — Less risk thus considered safer

Basic understanding —
Standard deviation: Measure of volatility
Sharpe ratio: Simply the return earned per unit of risk; more the better
Beta: Volatility of stock in comparison to market movement; 1 means stock moves with market
A government that listens. Felt like a myth, right? But now, not only does the government listen, but even ACTS. Here are a few incidents when the PMO directly intervened to help the common man, at times even saving lives.
🔹An 8-day-old girl was suffering from a grave medical condition. PM Modi ensured a traffic-free passage for the rescue team who air lifted the child to a hospital. The child was saved.
"He is our God today," said the child's father for PM Modi. #PeoplesPMfinancialexpress.com/india-news/pm-…
🔸Vaishali Yadav, a class 2 student, needed surgery for a hole in her heart, but her parents couldn't afford it. She wrote to PM Modi and the response was immediate. Her operation was funded by the PMO.
Below is a heartwarming picture of PM Modi with Vaishali. #PeoplesPM
"Rahul acknowledges that China is the competition" — How cute!
Truth is, the real reason why India so desperately lags behind China is your family.

Prime Minister Modi said he'll do in 5 years what wasn't done in 60 years. One of his transformative steps has been to electrify villages/towns.
This thread enumerates the tale of thirteen villages which've seen the sun shine on their fortunes in the true sense. #WhyModiIn2019

Electrification has become possible with the use of latest cutting-edge technology of DC solar microgrids. #WhyModiIn2019 tribuneindia.com/mobi/news/jamm…
There's a lot of distortion of facts. To add to this many say they'll 'teach' Narendra Modi a lesson in 2019.
With this thread, I attempt to both show the incredible work he's done and also why he's going to win 2019 as a result of unprecedented support from the poor. #NaMoIn2019
