The 2019 elections have introduced a new narrative — good economics is good politics through social empowerment. Putting the citizen first is the guiding principle of good governance. Social empowerment, which came through good economics, is now good politics. A state once known for bad roads, negligible electricity, the lack of doctors and teachers, farmers burdened with loans, and poor law and order, has turned around by adopting good economics with good politics. The 2019 elections have given a new dimension to the phrase, good economics is good politics, but via social empowerment.
