There is something also to be said about the way Modi treats debates in Parliament. Immediately after Manmohan Singh had derided his move to declassify the high value notes in a scathing Rajya Sabha intervention last year, Narendra Modi walked over to his predecessor and shook hands as Parliament broke for lunch. He was also seen talking, as the NDTV report points out, to rival leaders Anand Sharma and Ghulam Nabi Azad with Arun Jaitley in tow.
In the give and take of Parliamentary barbs, no quarters are given and none are asked for. Modi was at least responding to Singh’s criticism. We all remember, though, that the former PM had in January 2014 warned Indians that it would be “disastrous for the country if Modi were to become the PM”. That is a below-the-belt attack.
