Delhi: The urban development minister M Venkaian Naidu on Sunday applauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi as ‘God’s gift to India’ and ‘messiah for the poor’. Recently, PM Modi’s wax statue was being installed at Madame Tussauds museum.
Bharatiya Janata Party has hailed its past and present members from time to time at party meetings, but this is first time that someone has been called ‘god’s gift’ that too in his presence. When home minister Rajnath Singh was asked about the reaction of BJP members to Naidu’s remark, he said, “I have not heard Naiduji’s speech.”
Foreign minister Sushma Swaraj pointed to PM’s out of the box approach when he discussed the possibility of a visit to Pakistan to meet PM Nawaz Sharif on the way back to India from Afghanistan. Stating that Modi was on a “Mission to transform India”, Naidu expanded Modi as “Modifier Of Developing India” and described him as a “decisive leader, nationalist politician who provides progressive governance”. Naidu also said India was “recognised and respected as the most favoured destination for investment”.
The PM prime minister is seen as the leader of the largest democracy with over 18 million Twitter followers and 32 million Facebook likes.”
Naidu added, “PM Modi is working to make India a strong and wealthy country. His popularity has risen to a new level.”
