A clear difference of BETTER 'PM' of INDIA
- Narendra Modi: When Atal Bihari Vajpayee- former Indian Prime minister passed away in 2018; Narendra Modi ignored all previous political differences, and acted like a true leader of the nation.
- Well, he walked for six miles with cortege as a mark of respect up to cremation ground. It was an unprecedented act by any Indian prime minister.
- He attended the entire rituals with serenity along with his cabinet and party colleagues.
- Dr. Manmohan Singh: When former Indian prime minister PV Narsimha Rao passed away on 23 December 2004 in New Delhi; his body was not allowed to enter 24 Akbar Road; congress headquarters.
- Well, Sanjay Baru, former media advisor to Dr. Manmohan Singh has narrated the sequence in his book- Accidental Prime minister.
- Half Lion - a biography on Rao by a Princeton academician narrates that his family was specifically asked to cremate him in Hyderabad against wishes of his family members and colleagues as “high command” expected it.
- Ironically, his cremation was done in a half-hearted manner- a fact pointed out by his family. His corpse was left burning with limited attendees.
- Many congress veterans rued in private that it was a great dishonor to a great public leader like Rao like that.
- And, all that happened under the gaze of Dr. Manmohan Singh- a conscientious scholar but a helpless Prime minister.
- Conclusion: Dr. Manmohan Singh epitomizes knowledge; Narendra Modi epitomizes wisdom!
