Lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s role in single-handedly raising India’s profile across the globe, BJP leader and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said that prior to PM Modi, India had been “pushed to a corner” and had never received any respect from the United States.
During a public address in Sambhajinagar (formerly Aurangabad), Mr. Fadnavis took on Congressman Rahul Gandhi, remarking that at a time when the U.S. president was hailing Mr. Modi, the former Congress MP was going there and making remarks about the alleged death of Indian democracy.
“Today, Australia’s PM says ‘Modi is my boss’ and U.S. lawmakers queue up for Modiji’s signature… Papua New Guinea’s PM touches Mr. Modi’s feet and seeks his blessings. Did India get this kind respect before?” said Mr. Fadnavis.
