Never seen a press conference where someone else is answering questions on your behalf

There was no need to lower the dignity of the office of the Prime Minister just to prove a point

There was no compelling reason to bring down the nobility of the workplace of the dignity of the office of the Prime Minister just to prove a point.”

Congratulations Modi Ji. Excellent Press Conference! Showing up is half the battle. Next time Mr Shah may even allow you to answer a couple of questions. Well done! 👍
