The Prime Minister tore into "communal "politics of I.N.D.I.A bloc, rowover inheritance tax and religion-based reservation, while decoding the thought process behind Opposition manifesto.
Rishabh Gulati: Mr Prime Minister, the first question that comes to mind is about the Opposition, and it seems that the biggest item on their poll agenda is Narendra Modi. Why, in your opinion, do they talk so much about Narendra Modi?
PM Modi: 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.
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. They thought 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. Now, abusing Modi is one such antic, where, if nothing else, they are guaranteed publicity. Even a smalltime politician, if he badmouths me, will get about an hour of media attention. Perhaps they see Modi as a ladder to climb up in their political career.
Aishwarya P. Sharma: Mr Prime Minister, the I.N.D.I. alliance is talking about wealth redistribution. Do you think this is possible, and will the voters of the country be influenced by such a scheme?
