    1. Thankyou Jyotrimoy for appreciating Mr. Modi’s traits as a human being! He’s the one and the only politician who knows how to serve people and takes birth in ages.

  2. Hi! I do agree with this post, however, do you agree to his political mission as in Hindutva obligation… with lots of religious temples demolishing as such going around in the country. Do you agree, mam..

    1. Thanx Jensy the liking the post! I don’t completely agree with you! If you think it is due to the BJP leadership all these are happening it’s wrong!It was all there ever since but the media opened its eyes when BJP arrived as earlier they were happy when congress was doing all sort of misdeed promoting terrorism! If now we are trying to combat terrorism why such an uproar. We must understand being Indian we have right to retaliate and must not keep mum as congress has been doing for their political mileage!
