I Wasn't Afraid Of Talking To Press: Manmohan Singh's Jibe At PM Modi | Read

Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today attacked his successor Narendra Modi over his alleged reluctance to comment on contentious issues, indicating that it was unfair to brand him as "silent" when PM Modi clearly seems to be the one avoiding the media. "People say I was a silent Prime Minister. But I wasn't the Prime Minister who was afraid of talking to the press. I met the press regularly, and after every foreign trip I undertook, I gave a press conference," Mr Singh said on the sidelines of an event held to release his book Changing India.
