Modi Sir, Lutyens’ Delhi Made You PM – Now It Could Bring You Down

The so-called Lutyens’ Delhi cabal brought Modi to power, and they could be the ones to oust him, says Raghav Bahl.

How many times has Prime Minister Narendra Modi acknowledged a mistake or shortcoming during his nearly 56 months in office?

Honestly, you could count that number on less than half the fingers of your right hand. And even when he has, it’s been a negative compliment to himself.

Just look at how he answered the last question in his orchestrated 95-minute interview (more monologue, less Q&A?) on New Year’s Day 2019:

Q 41: Whether any regret during this term?

Prime Minister Modi: I could neither make the Lutyens’ world part of me, nor me a part of them. I did not want them to be a part of me as my background is different. I am a representative of the non-elite world. I could not win them over, but (am) still trying how (to) win over such forces.
