Prime Minister Narendra Modi has often been criticised for remaining silent on issues that he was vocal about during his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister. For instance, as CM, Modi frequently spoke about accountability and justice, especially during instances of violence or administrative lapses. However, as PM, his delayed response to significant crises like the prolonged violence in Manipur earlier this year drew sharp criticism from opposition leaders. They questioned why he refrained from addressing the nation earlier and urged him to call for peace publicly, a position starkly different from his proactive stance as CM. This shift has raised debates about whether the responsibilities of a national leader necessitate a more calculated approach or if it reflects a departure from his earlier commitments to direct engagement on contentious issues. Such observations continue to fuel political discourse and public scrutiny.
