Dear Sunil
Read your article on your admiration for Mr Modi.
Honestly, it was more of a personal prospective than being informative for the readers.
I have read your writings in the past but this one didnt fit the bill…
The comparisons given by you w.r.t. Mr Modi does not sound right. Infact, those personalities cannot be compared to each other as they held different ideologies.
As far as, Mr. Modi is concerned, he is more of a star than a politician.
Kindly, provide similar sort of articles as you have delivered in the past which people can aspire from and discuss over a cup of coffee with their friends.
Thanks
