Therea are two reasons for the failures of Narendra Modi as a Prime Minister; (i) his sectarian ideology; (ii) the narcissism of his personality, as in his inability to share credit or trust capable advisers.
My column in @ttindia :
telegraphindia.com/opinion/how-th…
@ttindia As I argue, anyone who works with Modi has to observe one rule: ‘Total obsequiousness, no credit’. There is one exception to this rule — the home minister.
The disastrous DeMo was the result of not listening to expert advice; whereas the disastrous CAA was piloted by the HM.
@ttindia With two electoral mandates, Modi could have taken India to the next level; economically, politically, socially. Instead, he has blown it away. Our economy is more fragile and vulnerable. Our society is more fearful and divided. Our institutions more compromised and corroded.
@ttindia My conclusion: "Had the prime minister thought to take individuals of ability into his cabinet, had he thought to listen more attentively to expert advice in economics, law, science, defence, and foreign affairs, he would have been in a better place today. And so would India."
