Passionate about finding out various ways and means of making the democratic governance deliver, Vinay Sahasrabuddhe had long back started reading about political parties and their evolution as a key democratic institution. His scholarly meanderings into the much relevant thematic of “Political Parties as Victims of Populism and Electoral Compulsions; A Quest for Systemic Solutions - With special reference to India” got recognized in the form of a Doctoral degree from University of Mumbai in 2009. Dr Maneesha Tikekar of the SIES College, Mumbai was his research guide.

The Innovation Republic: Governance Innovations in India Under Narendra Modi

2018

Innovation is the main driver of transformation in the twenty-first century. Governments, though, are not commonly associated with the creativity, nimbleness and risk-taking ability required to innovate. However, since assuming the office of prime minister of India in May 2014, Narendra Modi has strived hard to introduce the culture of innovation and creativity in governance. This book tells the stories of seventeen important innovations in the systems of governance, some of which make use of breakthrough technology, others involve the creation of new institutions, some involve a restructuring of processes, but all of which bring greater efficiency and effectiveness to the business of government. The ‘governnovations’ have helped the cause of transparency and accountability, like Government’s e-Market platform; they have enabled smart communication in the form of Mann ki Baat; there are institutional innovations like NITI Aayog and Invest India; an innovation like the Dalit VC fund is about social responsibility; some celebrate Indian culture while projecting Indian soft power, like the International Yoga Day; most of all, there are several which have contributed to easing the life of the average Indian—whether BHIM or Unnat Jyoti or Railway Twitter Sewa—which ought to be the aspiration and goal of every government.

विकास की राजनीति

2019

भारतीय जनता पार्टी देश की एक और राजनीतिक पार्टी भर नहीं है। अपने निर्माण व विकास के वर्षों में भाजपा खुद को पार्टी विद डिफरेंस (भिन्न किस्म का दल) के रूप में वर्णित कर गर्व महसूस करती रही है। 

एक के बाद एक आई दोनों वाजपेयी सरकारों ने यह प्रभावी तरीके से स्थापित कर दिया कि गठबंधन सरकारें टिकाऊ साबित हो सकती हैं, गैर-कांग्रेस सरकारें सफलतापूर्वक चल सकती हैं और इससे भी महत्त्वपूर्ण यह कि ऐसी सरकारें शासन में महत्त्वपूर्ण ढंग से योगदान दे सकती हैं, गवर्नेन्स का मूल्यवर्धन कर सकती हैं। किसी प्रकार के प्रच्छन्न या गोपनीय गैर-इरादों से मुक्त होने के कारण अपने राष्ट्रीय एजेंडे में भाजपा विकास का केंद्रीय महत्त्व सुनिश्चित कर सकी, जिसके मूल में मजबूत अर्थव्यवस्था थी। केंद्र और विभिन्न प्रदेशों में भाजपा सरकारों का प्रदर्शन साफ तौर पर अन्य राष्ट्रीय या क्षेत्रीय दलों से निर्विवाद कहीं अधिक बेहतर रहा है।

यह पुस्तक उस मूल्य संवर्धन (वैल्यू एडिशन) का निचोड़ है, जो भाजपा ने भारतीय लोकतांत्रिक राजनीति में अपूर्व योगदान द्वारा किया है। भाजपा ने परिश्रमपूर्वक और पूरी दक्षता से भारतीयों के जीवन में गुणात्मक रूपांतरण करने का काम किया है। भारतीय राजनीतिक विमर्श में ‘विकास की राजनीति’ यह शब्दावली केवल स्थापित करने का ही नहीं, बल्कि उसे पूरी प्रामाणिकता से जमीन पर उतारने का श्रेय भी भाजपा को जाता है। प्रामाणिक इरादे, सोच-समझकर बनाई नीतियाँ और कार्यान्वयन के प्रभावी तौर-तरीके इन तीन मुद्दों के आधार पर इस ‘विकास की राजनीति’ को अपनाया गया है।
