Letters: Hope for the best

Physicist Niels Bohr once said, “Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future.” The statement is true in the Indian context in the present time.
 
Demonetisation could not be predicted nor the effect it would have on the economy. The Uttar Pradesh election results could not be predicted, nor could the name of the new chief minister.
 
Recent predictions in India have been farcical and inconclusive. Thus, it would be too early to say which way new Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will take UP. One thing is for sure, though: It would be an extreme way, not a middle path, under the leadership of a person who knows not of appeasement.
 
Isn’t UP backward only because of appeasement? Many might believe that certain sections of society are aghast and disillusioned but this is not reflected in the mandate given by the UP electorate. Perhaps, people they want action, not appeasement. They would judge actions, not individuals. Let us hope for economic and social growth. Raj Kamal  Coimbatore
