Prime Minister Narendra Modi dispensed the first three minutes of his speech in Patna today on triple-A praise for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, whose prohibition policy he later highlighted as "inspirational."
"Social change is very tough thing to forge, yet he has shown remarkable ability in implementing prohibition... if this policy is successful in Bihar, the whole country will be inspired," said PM Modi at a public meeting to celebrate the 350th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh, revered by Sikhs, and born in Bihar. The PM offered a big portion of compliments to the Chief Minister for the scale of the event and the arrangements.
