    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?

    Btw- I am no bhakt and not happy with how GST and demonetization was implemented. They should accept mistakes and do much better. None the less wanted to put the things in context.
    To my mind not being corrupt is basic qualification for any politician. But only that quality won’t help. Ability to take bold decisions and steer nation in right direction (right for most of the people) are other qualities which are must IMO

    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.

    I think we have to agree to disagree. Have a good one!

    I liked/like both PMs of India, Manmohan Singh and Modi. But if you force me to pick one favorite, that will definitely be "Manmohan". While people kept calling him weak PM, he kept a single-minded focus on one metric that matters a lot to pull millions of people out of poverty, i.e. GDP GROWTH. After all, he was an economist. 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.

    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.

    I am sorry , but I find it funny . Prime minister and president and for that matter chief minister can buy clothes and submit as reimbursement , It's not a valid argument . He is the Prime minister of largest democracy in the world and India is not a poor country .

    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 .

    I respect your views! So, I googled a question, "Who was the 13th Prime Minister of India?" the answer comes quickly, "Dr. Manmohan Singh". Same is reported by all official sources. 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.

    Well , I don't think you have to google for it , He is a nominated prime minister not elected by people , That's not how democracy works (it was a loop hole in democracy), there are so many chief ministers who are nominated during the time of Indira Gandhi . 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 .

    Manmohan Singh did not take single decision on his own .People like Manmohan Singh are threat to democracy (At least he should have stepped down in the 2nd term after all the corruption allegations instead he was loyal to Gandhi family stayed as PM .

    He did! He put his PM position at stake for the Nuclear deal with the United States! And in response, the people of India reelected the congress party with an increased mandate for the second term.

    The Prime Minister must be a member of the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha. And Rajya Sabha MPs are elected by the electoral college of the elected members of the State Assembly with a system of proportional representation by a single transferable vote. You can't just nominate somebody.

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

    Not surprised to see some BHAKTS here.
    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".

    Indian media and politicians are watching. Stirring minority people and creating a stampede Of votes is a way to comeback. Fake Gandhi and groups will stir lots of issues in India and make India hell for next 4 years. India is ripe for clash.

    God bless India from politicians!
    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.
