 Here are some reasons why Narendra Modi is considered a good Prime Minister:

1. Decisive Stand: Mr. Modi has taken a decisive stand when it comes to internal security. He has adopted a multi-pronged policy to deal with terrorist threats posed by Pakistan. He has been successful in isolating the neighbor using effective diplomatic tools and has also shown that India shall not desist from conducting surgical strikes across the LOC to combat terrorist outfits¹.

2. International Relations: Mr. Modi has been immensely successful in garnering international support for the country and in forging diplomatic and economic alliances like no other leader has. He has made over 56 foreign trips and visited 44 countries of the world. From being the first PM to visit Canada in 42 years to wooing unlikely allies such as Saudi Arabia, from underlining the common heritage with Africa to convincing developed nations to returning Indian artifacts, PM Modi has been a grand success in keeping international attention firmly on India¹.

3. Economic Development: The NaMo government’s focus on the economic development of the country is undeniable. In economic growth rate of the country in 2013-14 was pegged at about 4.7 percent, a slight increase over the 4.5 percent growth of 2012-13. The government has launched several schemes such as Make in India, Digital India, Skill India, and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, which have been successful in creating jobs and improving the standard of living of the people.

4. Strong Leadership: Mr. Modi is a prime minister who takes his own decisions and enforces them without the backup of coterie, caucus or back room boys. With all his charisma, even Jawaharlal Nehru had to reckon with the presence of stalwarts like Sardar Patel and G.B. Pant. But Modi does not suffer from any such constraints³.

5. **Popularity**: Mr. Modi is the world's most popular leader, according to a report by The Economist. Conversations with political scientists and a cross-section of Modi fans suggest three main reasons for this phenomenon. Mr Modi is benefiting from a combination of good luck, political brilliance and ruthlessness.
