Book on PM to become Gita for those in politics: Shah
Snehashish Roy
NEW DELHI: Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s two decades of administrative stints, saying the government in his leadership has scripted the “all-inclusive development” of the country.
Speaking at the book launch of ‘ Modi@20: Dreams Meet Delivery’, Shah also said the Prime Minister should be seen from a holistic perspective and not from an isolated view to understand his political life.
“Those who believe in the allround and all-inclusive development of India, those who believe in the path of a complete personality, for all such people who work in social service and politics, this book is going to emerge like a Gita,” Shah said, referring to the book which was released by V-P Venkaiah Naidu.
Talking about the Prime Minister’s leadership, Shah said Modi did not have any experience of running the panchayat when he was elected as Gujarat chief minister but despite that, he won continuously and ran the state efficiently. “It is a matter of great achievement to be re-elected as chief minister again and again with such experience,” he said. Shah also took a swipe at the Congress, saying “the earlier government was said to be a government with policy paralysis”. “In eight years, Prime Minister Modi has provided a lot of material for study in front of the world on how the policy can be decided,” he added. HT tried to reach out to Congress leaders for a comment but did not get one immediately. Naidu, who also addressed the gathering, complimented the authors of the book for their “incisive analysis and cogent presentation”.
