I agree that being clean should be primary quality not differentiation. I don't think Modi is clean though. Just look at his clothes. How does he afford it with his government salary? Remember once he wore the Rs10 lakh suit? How is that ethical and clean?Quote:

I did not object his choice of clothes but his ability to afford it on his own. We already know one suit was given to him by a businessman and cost 10lakh per piece! A lot of people in India earn 40 lakh per year can not afford Modi's wardrobe believe me. :oQuote:

As for Modi, his focus seems to be on ONE NATION with STRONG BORDERS. That's a good thing, but when it comes to economy, he gets close to zero points in my book. And Manmohan Singh was not weak in my books. Yes, he was a man of few words, but India progressed a lot under his 10 years. Today, if you look around for different politicians of India as a possible PM candidate, you will realize that Modi is hundred times better than any of those corrupt politicians. Only other person that comes to my mind is Kejriwal, who is well-educated and most importantly an honest man. AAP did great work in Delhi in last few years.
Indeed sun. Let's speak about freedom justice equality for all. I think most people on forum will be aligned on these topics.Quote:

This most likely will be waived. JB was elected that he will take the pandemic seriously. Cancelling unnecessary interviews in a pandemic seems like a no brainer to me.Quote:

Manmohan Singh is not a PM at all , He is not elected by people and he is puppet (whether he is economist or intelligent doesn't count) .Modi is like Jawaharlal Nehru , Indira Gandhi and Vajpey , elected by people .Quote:

And you may not know, but the Prime Minister of India is never directly elected by the people. For his second term, he was announced the prime ministerial candidate by the party and the whole election campaign was based on his name.Quote:

If Manmohan Singh contests election on his own he won't even get deposit . To give you recent example Chief minister of Andhra Pradesh (undivided ) Kiran Kumar Reddy floated new party and got 0 seats .Quote:

Like I said before, the Prime Minister of India is never directly elected by the People of India. This is the FACT!Quote:

The FACT is, Prime Minister Modi spends on his own clothing. He doesn't charge government for that.Quote:

Hey Q, you run this amazing forum. You must be working 18 hrs a day to have some day time job and running this forum too. I have to say this - "Ek fakiri hai aap mein".
Criticizing India while in the opposition is different from doing so when number two in the government. They will not be any different than Obama admin was to Modi government. In fact rising Chinese power just makes common cause for US and India. There will be occasional pandering to the Muslim hot button issues from the Biden administration but that will not be the defining feature of the relationship. And that is a good thing. Having supported Modi's good governance agenda I am dismayed at his increasing reliance on divisive issues and Muslim baiting for political success, even when it is uncalled for and unnecessary. Modi ha enough political capital to steer the country to success instead of getting bogged down by parochial score settling.Quote:
