Good deeds ought to accompany good words. Prime Minister Narendra Modi might be a good orator, but the general public is only interested in knowing whether or not its issues will be resolved by the government (“PM hits back, throws Rahul a challenge”, May 2). For Mr. Modi to throw a challenge to Rahul Gandhi to deliver a speech in any language for 15 minutes without reading from a piece of paper is ridiculous. Elections are not speech competitions. Some may not be wise in their speech, but could be wise in their deeds.
