US President Donald Trump heavily praised PM Narendra Modi, calling him a "beautiful-looking" yet "tough" leader who guarantees India a major global role.
Over the years, having worked in the Government of India, I have had the privilege of seeing and hearing about numerous meetings chaired by the Prime Minister. One perception that quickly became evident to me is that many people view him as intensely target-driven, a leader singularly focused on numbers, outcomes, milestones, and the relentless pursuit of transformational change. However, the reality is slightly different.
Leaders from across the world paid tribute to PM Modi's transformative governance, his advocacy for the Global South, and his vision of an inclusive and economically dynamic India.
In his latest Mann Ki Baat, PM Narendra Modi lauded record-breaking sprinters Gurinder Veer Singh and Animesh Kujur. He also highlighted a successful Gangetic dolphin rescue in UP, citizen-led water initiatives, and a rising interest in astronomy among youth.
