Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu on May 11 said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a “phenomenon”, a point that even his detractors had to concede.
Mr. Naidu was speaking after he released the book Modi@20: Dreams Meet Delivery, a collection of essays on Mr. Modi on his completion of 20 years of helming governments, first as Chief Minister of Gujarat and later as Prime Minister of India, by his Cabinet colleagues, including Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar, and Mr. Modi’s former Principle Secretary in the Prime Minister’s Office, Nripendra Mishra, among others.
Mr. Shah and Mr. Jaishankar were also speakers at the event.
