Praise for Modi

June 10, 2019 15:46

"On May 23, not the political weather but the political climate of India changed. Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his first term as a novice. He opens his second innings as a statesman. Jawaharlal Nehru was the maker of the India of the 20th century. Modi is perhaps destined to be the maker of the India of the 21st century. Modi is the third Prime Minister to serve a second consecutive term with a majority. The other two being Nehru and Indira Gandhi. Prime Minister Modi is now in the same league as Presidents Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Chancellor Angela Merkel and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan."

Guess who said this?

K Natwar Singh, former foreign minister of India and the pointsperson in the Congress party for at least three decades.
