Always said demonising Modi wrong: Singhvi

Senior Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi on Friday backed party leader Jairam Ramesh's remarks on Narendra Modi, saying demonizing the prime minister was "wrong" and acts must be judged issue-wise, not person-wise. Speaking at a book launch on Wednesday, former Union minister Ramesh had said Modi's governance model was "not a complete negative story", adding that not recognizing his work and demonizing him all the time was not going to help.

Echoing Ramesh's views, Singhvi tweeted: "Always said demonizing Modi wrong. Not only is he PM of a nation, a one-way opposition actually helps him." "Acts are always good, bad and indifferent—they must be judged issue wise and not person wise. Certainly, ujjawala scheme is only one amongst other good deeds," he said.

Ramesh had also cited how successful the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUJ) had turned out for Modi.
