This refers to Narendra Modi’s speech on 14 August when he said that the country would hear two speeches on the Independence Day; one that he would make from Gujarat and another the PM will deliver from the Red Fort. Sycophancy and arrogance have always been repulsed by the Indian voters. The ‘India Shining’ slogan aggressively marketed by the then-ruling BJP led NDA had actually caused more harm than good to it in the general elections of 2004. The idea boomeranged as the Aam Admi perceived it as a hollow slogan filled only with unbridled egotism. Narendra Modi must understand that the people of India would be loathing his haughtiness rather than comparing his speeches with Prime Minister’s.
