Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday took on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his government completing one year in office, saying what people have got is “selfie leadership” instead of “selfless leadership” they had voted for in the Lok Sabha polls.
Slamming his bete noire, Mr. Kumar said the only remarkable thing during the one-year NDA rule was that the prime minister has more selfies than all his Cbinet 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,” Mr. Kumar said in a blog he wrote for a private TV channel as a 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.
Mr. 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,” he remarked. - PTI
