MODI SHOULD TRY TO EMULATE THE MAHATMA

This Gandhi Jayanti, I want to remind Narendra Modi that simplicity and modesty is perhaps the way forward if he aspires to be a leader of national relevance. Mahatma Gandhi was also from the same state, but he dedicated himself to the nation without chasing power and position. Modi’s unmasked obsession with the post of prime minister deflects attention from his much-hyped administrative abilities. them are wary of shortpitched bowling. Instead of giving second and third chances to senior players, the selection board should encourage fresh talent, such as Ajinkya Rahane and Parvez Rasool.
