Ashwini Vaishnaw has to be the worst Railway Minister of India in the 21st century. His penchant for chanting Modi’s name and engaging in shameless bootlicking to further his career is there for all to see. In every single press conference, he keeps repeating the PM’s name like a mantra and throws in other words like “Vishwaguru”, “Amrit Kaal”, etc. which have little to no relevance to the issue being discussed.
His love for PR drives through his reels has quite rightly earned him the moniker “Reel Minister”. He has been a big let down for the Modi government. Utterly incompetent as a minister and absolutely insensitive as a human being.
