Narendra Modi is India’s 14th prime minister and has been in power since May 2014. He is the first prime minister to have been born after Independence. Modi is a leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and has served as Gujarat Chief Minister from 2001 to 2014. His Lok Sabha constituency Varanasi, though, is in Uttar Pradesh, and Modi has represented this seat since 2014.
Narendra Modi joined the RSS, the BJP’s ideological parent, in the 1970s and joined the BJP in 1987. The following year he was chosen as the party’s general secretary for Gujarat. Modi took oath as Gujarat CM in 2001, after replacing Keshubhai Patel, who was held responsible for the government’s poor response to the Bhuj earthquake. Modi contested his first-ever election in 2002, shortly after which the Gujarat riots fueled controversy over his leadership. The Supreme Court in 2022 gave a clean chit to Modi and 63 others in a plea exploring a larger conspiracy behind the riots.
Manmohan Singh said Modi is the Prime Minister of all Indians, Prime Minister has some responsiblity and not a alligation to others. Manmohan singh dedicate a book to our prime minister a book name is Fables of fractured Times.
Prof P K Sharma easily forgets that the same Man Mohan singh said Modi will be a disaster as a Prime Minister which was a very personal comment. How congress treated all the opposition ruled states especially Gujarat Mr Singh and Prof Sharma conveniently forgets and Prof Sharma is economical with truth in most of his comments. You can dislike Modi but state facts and call a spade a spade being a Professor.
Mr.Hariharan Srinivasan !
I am amused to go through your response to my comments on the story in question
and thank you very much for the same !
You admitted that I have been “economical with truth ” it is indeed more than enough
for me, my dear ! The economics yardstick can be applied in fiscal affairs and matters !
The TRUTH is truth because there are neither half truths nor economical truths !
Dr Manmohan Singh and his Congress Party shrank to its worst ever tally of 44 seats
in the annals of Lok Sabha Polls because of their follies and wrong doings in the 2014
Lok Sabha Polls ! Congress did face the music for whatever it did during ten years of
its regime facing the wrath of the electorate !
Is now Congress a role model for BJP and NaMo ?
In my comments, I felt that NaMo as Prime Minister has to show magnanimity, grace,
dignity and largeheartedness because he is the Prime Minister of India, none else is ?
He has to conduct himself as Prime Minister because he should not behave as a leader
of the opposition ! Ironically, most of the time , he forgets that he is the PM not in the
opposition !

His words are devoid of any meaning as long as he fails to counsel similar advice to Rahul, Tharoor, Mani Shankar Iyer, Muttemwar, Raj Babbar, Divya Spandana, etc etc. This lofty ‘preaching’ ONLY to Modi sounds like a ‘LOYAL’ Congressman reading out a handed script. There is NO wisdom in this; only his own party oriented criticism of Modi.

Dr.Manmohan Singh has given a very
wise,meaningful and just piece of advice to Prime Minister Narendra Modi !
But ironically, the problem with NaMo
is that from where he should manage finer traits of broadmindedness, grace, magnanimity and “real” national
spirit?
Poor NaMo who has been echoing and singing a political song of “Congress Mukt Bharat “(Congress Free India) all these almost more than four and a half years how can he act upon the advice of Dr.Manmohan Singh former Prime
Minister belonging to Congress Party eventhough it may very well be in the best interests of the nation ?
Instead of acting upon these tips of a Congressman- Dr.Manmohan Singh, NaMo will now have to exert too much to coin a new ploy(Jumla) to counter a world fame economist !
NaMo has yet to learn the art of believing and conducting himself as the Prime Minister of “INDIA” in his first term but amazingly he is eyeing second term in the hot seat !

Considering the number of book launches taking place nowadays, India must be the most well read nation now. That should also be reflected in the refinement of our national discourse. Like air quality after Diwali, it tends to dip at election time.
Excellent remark. Caustic and pleasant at the same time
