Arun Jaitley comments on PM Modi

New Delhi, January 21: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has made some sensational comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on today.

In this regard, he hit out at opposition parties, saying the fear of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s popularity and his return to power has brought them together but said this won’t work in the Lok Sabha polls as Modi remains the most popular leader.

In a social media Facebook post, he said the opposition had a negative anti-Modi agenda and they were seeking to take the best advantage of the electoral arithmetic.

“A negative campaign works when there is a strong anti-incumbency. When there is a comfort level with the government and its leader, a set of more satisfied people vote a government back,” he said.

“It is only the fear of his popularity and comeback that is bringing them together. The Prime Minister remains by far the most popular, decisive and dynamic leader of the present set of politicians.

“His integrity, emphasis on ethics, decisiveness, growth-oriented politics, has made aspirational India to accept him. He has singularly decimated all caste-based parties and dynastic political groups in 2014,” he said.
