Prime Minister Modi says he attaches importance to criticism, the number of critics very few

[ad_1]

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he attaches great importance to criticism and sometimes forgets criticism because “there are more people who only make allegations and play games about perceptions”.

In an interview with Open magazine in which he spoke about a multitude of governance issues and his personal journey, he said: I feel, and it is my belief, that for my own healthy development, I attach a great importance to criticism. I, with an honest spirit, respect critics a lot. But, unfortunately, the number of reviews is very low.

Most of the time people just make claims, more people are playing perception games. And the reason is, to criticize takes a lot of hard work, research and, in today’s fast paced world, maybe people don’t have the time. So sometimes I miss the reviews.

Opposition parties and part of the activists have often claimed that the Modi government is vindictive towards its critics.

With the prime minister due to complete two decades in government, including as chief minister of Gujarat, on October 7, Modi noted that he had nothing to do with politics itself in his youth and from his early days. youth, his inclination was spiritual. .

The maxim that serving people is akin to serving God has always inspired her, he said.

He added: As for politics, I didn’t even have a remote connection. It was much later that, due to the circumstances, and at the insistence of a few friends, I got involved in politics. Even there, I was in a position where I mainly did organizational work.

Modi had joined the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) at a young age and was later deputy to the BJP.

When asked about his journey from a humble background to the most powerful position in the country, Modi said he feels privileged that the people of the country have given him enormous responsibilities and continue to trust him.

This is the strength of our democracy, he said.

This is why empowering people by making upward mobility achievable has become one of the fundamental motivations for me.

“It is important that every young person has opportunities. And when I talk about opportunities, I’m not just referring to the assistance that keeps them dependent but the support that empowers them to achieve their aspirations, with dignity, he said.
