Parrikar has been a part of international bodies as sustainable development advisor. His expertise is expected to be utilized in best possible ways in order to bring about significant changes.

Along the lines of John F. Kennedy’s, “Ask not what America can do for you, ask what you can do for America,” Modi says, “show me what you are capable of and I may have something for you. Prove Yourself.” He throws an open challenge to his party men. Modi’s agenda is as much about politics as it is performance.
