bajaj auto managing director rajiv bajaj spoke to etauto in an interview edited excerpts how do you view prime minister narendra modis term thus far i dont think india is going through such a bad time its tough but it is business as usual this is life in the same environment we can see very different performances this is what i keep telling my team in the same industry this is the performance of indigo and this is the performance of kingfisher this is the performance of sun pharma and tcs in every industry 5 or 10 of the companies do exceedingly well but since 90 is the majority we take that as representative and we say dekho burre din hai if the majority is suffering we conclude that there is some problem thats not the case actually the minority is doing something right we should respect the people who are doing very well the biggest problem of these people is the lack of focus they try to do everything to everyone at every time companies live beyond their means and they are greedy and thats why they land up in problems of their own creation whereas companies that are focused they dont get into any debt trap they believe in doing one thing right at one time and eventually thats why they succeed do you think the government has done enough to induce confidence among businessmen my view is that the government is investing correctly in the long term of the country somewhere we indians are generally an emotional lot expectations rise very fast and fall equally fast whether it is politicians or cricketers so maybe people have not realised that mr narendra modi is not a chief minister anymore hes our prime minister they are expecting results in the timeframe of a chief minister thats not possible as a pm youve to apply yourself in a different way to build the future my instinct and my gut tells me thats what the government is doing maybe everything they are not doing correctly but i think their direction is correct companies live beyond their means and they are greedy and thats why they land up in problems of their own creation whereas companies that are focused they dont get into any debt trap you have been a supporter of arvind kejriwal what do you make of his performance as much as i feel that mr modi is doing what a pm should do i think arvind is doing exactly what a cm should do supporting him does not mean i am antimodi i dont think two are mutually exclusive for me somebody like mr modi at the centre and arvind in every state is what this country needs if a rich cashsurplus company like bajaj auto goes to the uttarakhand government and gets benefits of 1000 crore it is called industrial development but if the government of delhi spends only 200 crore to ensure the poorest of the
