Modi, Nitish's inadequate contributions

Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar did not deserve plaudits from a person like Anna Hazare. Nobody disputes that their economics has been pro-poor, but aside from the fact that the two celebrated Chief Ministers are personally clean and have shown the will to keep the administration corruption-free, they have not done much. Many candidates with criminal cases pending against them were given the ticket by Mr. Modi. Mr. Kumar's party too has its share of tainted legislators.
