In the exclusive interview, the Prime Minister Modi was questioned about the Opposition frequently mentioning his name, “Why the opposition seems to center their poll agenda around him, making Narendra Modi the focal point of their discussions?”
In response the Prime Minister Modi stated that the current opposition parties lack the ability to address real issues facing the country. As a result, they attempt to divert public attention by focusing on him. PM Modi pointed out that people can compare the administration from 2004 to 2014 with the governance of other parties since independence. He criticized the Opposition for not playing a constructive role for the nation and for using his name to stay in the media spotlight.
PM Modi said, “To understand why they discuss Narendra Modi, we must first understand the Opposition. To understand them, one can examine the administration between 2004 and 2014.”
He added, “The Opposition has not been able to play a strong role. Even as the Opposition, the way they are falling apart, they did not play a constructive role of any kind. Despite deep discussions, they haven’t been able to bring serious issues to the public attention.”
Further elaborating, he remarked, “They think that by their antics, taking up space in the media, they would be able to keep their boat afloat. Even in this election, I have seen that they make fresh attempts every day to acquire media space, be it by making videos, nonsensical statements, or behaving in a way that people don’t normally behave. So they do this to acquire space in the media.”
Explaining the motives of opposition parties, he said, “Now abusing Modi is one such antic, where, if nothing else, they are guaranteed publicity. Even a small-time politician, if he bad-mouths me, will get about an hour of media attention. Perhaps they see Modi as a ladder to climb up in their political career.”
