‘PM Modi grabbed eyeballs of 80s, 90s generation, spoke of minimum govt’: Former Prasar Bharati CEO Shashi Shekhar

The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, which came after the Vajpayee government's ouster, was not aligned with the generation of the 80s and 90s, said author and former CEO of Prasar Bharati Shashi Shekhar Vempati, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi "with his different language" and consistent hold on "minimum government and maximum governance" grabbed the eyeballs of this aspirational generation which led to his rise in 2014.

In an exclusive interview with ANI, the author of 'Collective Spirit, Concrete Action', a book based on PM Modi's Mann Ki Baat said the generation of the 80s and 90s, which underwent uncertainties like the Mandal period, the Ram Janmabhumi agitation, unstable coalition governments, easily related to PM Modi in the run-up to 2014 Lok Sabha elections, who was talking about limited government role, technology, innovation, entrepreneurship among others.
