Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “democratic leader”, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said even his critics will agree that the Union Cabinet has never functioned in such a democratic manner as it is functioning in the Modi government.
Rejecting allegations that Modi is an autocratic leader, Shah said that he has not seen a “patient listener” like the prime minister, who gives importance to all worthy suggestions given by anyone irrespective of their designation or position in the hierarchy. In an interview with SANSAD TV, the Union minister said Modi does not hesitate in taking political risks for decisions that are in the national interest, and at times has taken bitter decisions for the welfare of the nation.
