Prime Minister Narendra Modi Interview- Detailed Analysis With his speech
Prime
Minister Narendra Modi in an interview to TV channel Times Now , Mr. Modi said, “Whether it is in my
party or not, I think such things are inappropriate. This fondness for
publicity is never going to do any good to the nation. People should conduct
themselves with utmost responsibility. If anybody considers himself above the
system, it is wrong.”
He
added that he had “no duvidha (dilemma)
over the issue” and “was very clear” on what he meant to say.
This
is the 1st time Ruling Prime minister speak in Private news channel.
Mr.
Modi also said that parliamentary obstructionism was “unfortunate” and that
“one party” (alluding to the Congress) should know better than to block
legislation, considering the fact that they had been in power for over 60
years. “When people say 'Opposition', it is unfair to the opposition. There are
some parties in the Parliament which are not with the BJP or NDA, but are with
the government on key decisions. So, to defame the Opposition by saying that
all opposition parties are against us -- when some people do this, it is
wrong,” he said.
Prime Minister on Parliamentary logjam
“There
is one party which has problems. And the whole world knows that party.
Secondly, to say that 'When you were in Opposition, you did it this way' There
is a difference between every Opposition party. 'We have run the government for
60 years and now we are in the Opposition, so we know the nitty-gritties of the
government, we know the responsibilities. We can't behave in the way, a new
Opposition party behaves.' A party which hasn't been in power or hasn't seen
anything, could behave in this way. For example, we are in power now, and
consider in 2040 we become the Opposition party. So, in 2040 we can't have the
same conduct as the one we had in 2009 or 2010,” he added.

PM On Subramanian Swamy:
Dr.
Swamy and Mr. Jaitley have been at odds with each other over the former’s open
criticism of Finance Ministry officials, like Chief Economic Adviser Arvind
Subramaniam and Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das. Prime Minister

Dr. Swamy had kept up a sustained effort to get Reserve Bank of India governor
Raghuram Rajan removed. On the exit of Dr. Rajan, Mr. Modi said he [Rajan] had
completed his full term despite apprehensions expressed by the opposition that,
being a UPA government appointee he would be removed by the NDA government. He
added that those “creating controversies” over his exit, were doing more harm
than good to Dr. Rajan.

be drawn for conducting talks — with the elected government or “other actors”.

any laxity and negligence,
