Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K. Selvaperunthagai on Monday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s refusal to accept the invitation for a debate extended by retired justices, Ajit P. Shah, Madan B. Lokur and N. Ram, Director, THG Publishing Private Limited, with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, shows that Mr. Modi does not have the courage.
In a statement, Mr. Selvaperunthagai said that Mr. Modi never participated in any debate or discussion during his tenure of 11 years as Chief Minister of Gujarat and later, 10 years as India’s Prime Minister.
“PM Modi will speak and others should just listen to it. He has never answered any questions raised in parliament and he has never addressed the questions posed by journalists in the last 10 years. He has never had the courage to answer questions posed by journalists,” he said.
