Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he did not consider the opposition parties as his enemy.
Instead, he insisted that he intends to work collaboratively with Opposition leaders. “I never challenge and I want to take them along. I do not underestimate anyone. They have formed the government for 60-70 years. I want to learn the good things that they did. I do not consider the Opposition as the enemy,” PM Modi told NDTV.
In an exclusive interview with the channel, Modi spoke about a range of issues including opposition attacks, his development philosophy, and the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
The Prime Minister said he was open to constructive criticism and advice, from experienced Opposition leaders. “If they have anyone experienced who wants to advise me then I welcome it. They can say whatever they want to the media – good or bad, but if they have anything to offer for the country’s good then I welcome them. I don’t wish any ill upon anyone,” he added.
“I want to get rid of ‘old mentality’. I cannot use traditions and laws that were made in the 18th century to build India’s future in the 21st century. I want to make a change by reform, perform and transform,” Modi said.
