Modi, in many respects, is similar to Vajpayee - humble background, political journey, patriotic, no family, no greed for money…
So, why is Modi not following Vajpayee’s footsteps?
He cannot afford to repeat the same mistakes that were done by BJP in 2004

5 years of country’s economic and infrastructure development under Vajpayee was only beginning to yield results but ‘India Shining’ wasn’t marketed properly back then. So, BJP will leave no stone unturned to market their achievements this time.
An interaction with hostile media will neither be productive nor advantageous. So, BJP is now more careful in accepting interview invitations..
Modi is far more aggressive when it comes to election campaigning. He will not even shy away from testing the limits of political correctness.
The leader of an incumbent party cannot afford to seem low on confidence or apologetic for even a moment, and so Modi will not let that happen.
You’ll be surprised to know the kind of similarities in the opposition’s approach between now and then (2019 and 2004).

Operation Shakti vs Mission Shakti: When Vajpayee’s government conducted the Pokhran nuclear tests, then the opposition accused him of using the tests for political ends rather than to enhance the country's national security..
Remember the reactions on Modi’s ASAT test - Mission Shakti?
Unemployment: In 2004 too, the opposition had raised issues on (and I quote) the ‘faulty economic policies of the Vajpayee government leading to massive unemployment..

He responded by telling that 7 million jobs were created but also admitted that the problem is still there. Do you think that this reply helped?
In 2004 too, the opposition had used a defense related scandal - ‘Coffin Scam’ to attack the BJP Government. Years later, no wrongdoings were found and SC exonerated the Defense Minster and PM.
However, it costed them dearly in those elections. Doesn’t the Rafale Controversy trigger deja vu?
Atal Bihari Vajpayee is now hailed as a true statesman and one of the finest PMs of the country. He was honest, he respected his opponents and stood for clean politics
Yet, we voted him out when he was contesting the last election of his career….“It's very important to win in politics ... because losers aren't capable of changing the destiny of a country.”
And Modi-shah knows that very well. They will make sure they win, no matter what…Modiji knows very well that such interrogation style interviews to be so wasteful.
Instead of getting the inter-view it becomes like a fight to trap the other person and pin them down while getting oneself from their attack. No time for getting to the core of the issues of the topic…
He doesn't engage these manipulative TV anchors with their petty mind games. Just delivers results and let's the people know directly about important without interference and diversions from intermediaries…Modi is more smarter than he looks he knows what he is doing!!
