Patna: Slamming his bete noir Narendra Modi on his completing one year in office, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has said the only remarkable thing during the period was that prime minister has more selfies than all his cabinet colleagues put together.
“He (Modi) has more selfies than all the ministers in his cabinet put together… What the people voted for was selfless leadership and what they have got is selfie leadership,” Kumar said in a blog he wrote for a private TV channel as reaction to Modi365.
“Apparently some of this (selfies) have created a new global recognition for India… Its typical illustration of more style over substance, more raucous about nothing than the music of change to the ears of common man,” he said.
Kumar in his blog claimed that even the most articulate ministers and supporters of ‘Modi sarkar’ do not have an answer to the question as to what has the government accomplished.
“In contrast, any average person can easily tell you what the government did not deliver. Ask a farmer, an unemployed youth, a housewife, an artisan, an informed citizen, an academician or even the people who voted for Modi sarkar a year ago – they will have no problem articulating what the government did not deliver,” he remarked. Commenting on Modi’s foreign tours, Kumar said “Probably, the prime minister has so far visited more countries in the world than states in India, and he has certainly made more visits than the External Affairs minister of the country.
