Policy Paralysis vis-a-vis Emergency

The word most commonly used to described UPA2 was "Policy Paralysis". Not only the government but individuals, families, offices, mom n pop enterprises - everyone, seemed to be stuck in decision making! There was inertia setting in, files not moving, projects not taking off, payments not happening. 

Apparently, the reason was, no one wanted to take risks. The environment was not conducive, one was punished for taking decisions. No one will take risks, if they are going to made scapegoats.

I was told earlier on in life that the key is to take decisions. Right or wrong, time will tell. You learn the lesson and move on. The UPA2 kind of paralysis happened perhaps due to hyperactive CAG, and over-enthusiastic judiciary, and definitely due to indecisive leadership. 

More often than not, knee jerk reaction follows policy paralysis. 
Since May 2014, we have seen many of UPA schemes and plans continuing, and their version 2.0 being launched too. There was extensive coverage in the newspapers about how PM Modi was getting the Delhi bureaucracy to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty - off the golf course. There were reports about early morning meetings, and late night meetings, and monthly PPTs to be made by MPs and ministers on the lines of KRAs. 
A lot of people suddenly woke up thinking nothing has been done for a decade. The coalition in the 90s hasn't helped much... Imagine a some government agency that doesn't do any work in the full financial year, for whatever reasons - and suddenly wakes up on last week of March and launches hajjar schemes to make up for lost time. No one will know the objective, no one will capture the effectiveness, they will just spend money cos they were meant to. 
Has the governance been like that since BJP led government came to power? Spending money, building roads, creating infrastructure? Is there a conducive atmosphere for business? Are they addressing unemployment? And migration? Are they clueless about where they are going? 
There are some ayes and some nays. But the question one needs to answer is, is the opposite of policy paralysis, intolerance? Or emergency. 
Let us introspect. With facts. With what we see, experience ourselves. Without name-calling.
