    When in India he is either cleaning streets, indulging in gimmicks or campaigning for elections! When abroad, his favorite pass time is giving funny speeches to Indian diaspora.

    Everything else is on auto mode with joker/ criminal ministers taking care of education, panchayat raj, finance, defence and other sectors!

    He just spends our taxpayer money and campaigns for himself.

    MODI IS SURGING AHEAD IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION. CABINET MINISTERS ARE MEAN TO DO WORK AND DELIVER THE PROMISED ITEMS TO THE CITIZENS. GIVING STATEMENT LIKE EARLIER GOVERNMENT ONLY CREATES CONFUSION AND FUROR WHICH IS UNWARRANTED. MINISTERS NOT GIVING STATEMENTS MEANS THEY BUSY IN THEIR ITINERARY.

    Modi is spending most of his time on image building and old rhetoric to attack his opponents. In this process of public gimmicks he is ignoring majority of Indians who voted him expecting Ache Din . In short term may be his gimmicks will work ,but unless he servers poor ,marginalized communities ,unemployed youth his feku name will be more and more accepted by people.

    Irrespective of the dog's barking... this great gentleman continue his ventures one by one. Already became 15th in the famous personalities list. Whole world has appreciated his steps and projects. Sad part is in our own country , bloody these political rivals are not ready to accept the fact because of the political rivalry. But what ever it's India and Indians have supported him and ensured they all are with Modi. All his projects , even though some stupid piliticians give some stupid statements, whole nation welcomed all his innovative ideas and projects. There are a lot of initiatives fascinated me and my friends circle like his time Management introduced in Political governance, cost cut down by stopping all first call air fares, requesting political leaders to cut down their expenses, conencting people directly ( first time a PM has taken this step so that each and every Indian is feeling like PM speaking to him) and above all he brought this clean india initiative which is evidencing each and every corner of our country. Simple evidece is that when ever I am driving in our locality on Sundays I am seeing many of the social organizations like Mahila mandala , yuvaka mandala, rotary clubs are all started the initiave in their own areas and I could see lot of volunteers clening the road sides, bus stands.. etc. the whole credit goes to the great personality named Mr. Modi. We should be proud to such a natianal leader who has been well respected by whole world and they claim him as a leader with action, world class leader and all. Sure we the Indians and our country will see great days a head with his leadership.

    Modi could have great ideas and projections, this means he can not be a great leader unless he fulfilled the dreams. Now it is six months going to get over, it seems that he can not control his party very well. His Cabinet is not powerful. He alone bat and field in the ground and others are sleeping. Why he U-Turn on black money?? This shows he is closeness to Ambhani and other big business tycoons. Then how you can say that he is a good PM ???

    Modi is certainly influential and will do wonders.. He is in top 15th place of Forbes list, in the first attempt itself!!.... guess what it was Sonia who was there in that list previously... and her fans here used to say MANMOHAN SINGH WAS THE PM and running the government, who wasn't even in the list, justifiably so, cos he never won any election and he was made PM, cos Congi's lacked a genuine leader elected by people? -)

    vellano1, Mumbai,
    Modi is already P.M. and ruling for the last 6 months.
    Congress, Sonia, Manmohan Singh and their Govt is matter of past.
    People have defeated them and voted Modi & BJP & team to power.
    But why are you bringing congress to all discussion forum over and again even now?
    Not able to forget them?
    Why repeating same negativity of blaming again and again?
    In democracy non performers are defeated, for wrong they have done Govt should take action.
    Are they running the Govt to speak like opposition?

    Ruling party have to face opposition.
    But again in the interest of the nation, I prefer to be constructive in criticism, let others do anything! I try my best every time.
    If voted to power to bring change, give them scope to do good nations benefit is in it.
    Not to be dumb, criticize wherever necessary.
    But why bring past negativity every time?
    Anyway, thanks, have a nice time. I feel this forum is to share and grow for betterment of our ideas for the nation than fight on petty party politics.

    Valerian, nobody asked u not to oppose Modi or ruling party!.... what I said is, how come Sonia was in forbes list, when she was just an MP? and how come MMS was weak compared to her..

    I am not going into policy discussion matters. Congress has been routed and shown their place, with 44 MPs, and not even opposition leader position!.. let them nurse their injuries..

    and btw, Karnataka has a congress govt. I dont see you opposing that eagerly,all their POTTU BHAGYAs! u still rake up yeddy, chaddi, reddy only there... why so? -)

    After having lot of exposure within the nation, more and more international exposure is better for our Prime Minister Modi.
    Wide vision balances a person's thinking and analysis.
    He is influential, so it benefits the nation.
