NEW DELHI: The Congress on Friday responded to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement during a podcast, where he reflected on his fallibility and life mantra.
In the over two-hour-long podcast, PM Modi acknowledged that everyone, including himself, is prone to making mistakes. Reacting to PM Modi’s comments, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh, who is party’s general secretary in-charge of communications, said the comments were “clearly damage control”. He pointed to Modi’s past statements, referencing an interview ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections where the Prime Minister had claimed he was “sent by God.”
“This is coming from the same Prime Minister who proclaimed his non-biological status before the 2024 elections,” Ramesh wrote on X.
In another post on X, Ramesh said while “the PM is rediscovering that he is a human after all, foreign investors in stock markets have ushered in 2025 by taking out $2 billion just in the past six days”. He said it showed the “complete lack” of investor confidence in India’s financial markets.
