My theory is Modi knows what sort of mine field he is entering into.
In his youth he has spent considerable amount of time in Delhi , silently observing the fabled lutyens connection.
His detractors are everywhere inside his party, in opposition, in bureaucracy, in media, in NGOs, in fixers, in lobbyists, in industry, in judiciary, in civil society - allmost everywhere.
He is picking his battles and skirmishes to win war not one but many.
If he goes against corrupt individuals judiciary will not be supporting due to laws and bails and process of natural justice.
Modi cannot prosecute at best he can set various government agencies against them but it will be futile exercise because of judiciary.
Apart from him everyone has some past, some kith and kins, families, relatives.
Think from this point - can a real fight against corruption of any and every kind can happen without affecting you.
The heat of fight will reach to us, how many of us are ready for that supreme sacrifice, thousands or millions.
Secondly how many individuals you can find who are interested, have experience, expertise have dedication, devotion, desperation for change - my answer is not many.
So what is way out, way out is strengthen the institution make them responsive, responding, responsible and accountable.
A simple price rise, atrocities against dalits, muslims, marginalized is blown out of proportion and results in electoral defeats, whole momentum of various charges will come after this.
With such sensitive fault lines the task in front of certain Mr Modi is of humongous proportion.
We need hundreds and thousands of MODI-CLONES, which practically is impossible.
So next best option is that individuals become MODI and support him, trust him, pray for him and start beveling that change will come collectively.
