Modi has clear vision of India and ties with US: White House


By Arun Kumar 

Washington, Dec 3 (IANS) : White House heaped high praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he has a clear understanding of the India-US relationship and a clear vision for where he wants to take his country.

President Barack Obama "certainly does respect Prime Minister Modi and has appreciation for his skills and abilities as a politician," the White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters here Wednesday when asked about the relationship between the two leaders.

"He also is somebody who is given the very difficult challenge of sitting atop the world's largest democracy -- that's not easy work, and the President of the United States has special insight into how difficult it is."

Obama, who met the Indian Prime Minister for the sixth time in Paris during the climate change summit, has found "Modi to be somebody who is honest and direct," he said.

He is "somebody who has good command of the facts; somebody who has a clear understanding of the issues that confront his country and our relationship," Earnest said.

"He is also somebody that has a clear vision for where he wants to take his country. And that makes him not just an effective politician but an effective Prime Minister."

Earnest noted that Obama "has had the opportunity to consult with Prime Minister Modi on a number of occasions."

"And I think that isn't just a testament to their good working relationship -- it actually is a testament to the important issues that are at stake between our two countries."

"And the ability of the leaders of our two countries to work through those issues and to advance our shared interests is a good thing -- it's a good thing for the world, it's also a good thing for the citizens of our two countries," Earnest said.

Asked if Obama had invited Modi for a seventh meeting early next year at the White House, the spokesman said he was not "aware of any meetings that are on the agenda at this point, but I certainly wouldn't rule out another visit by Prime Minister Modi before the end of next year."

    Of course US has to praise him for weakening Rupee against dollar from 57.7 to 66.7 since May 16th 2014. Not to mentioned the huge defense orders placed in the US.

    Preparations for the next trip to US at the cost of tax payers.Next cess will put the country into mess.
    "Given the very difficult challenge of sitting atop the worlds largest democracy - thats not easy work".
    Is he the first PM of worlds largest democracy.
    If the previous leaders have taken up on challenge and made it easier Why is it difficult now?
    Every leader is praised by the other as long as he is in power.
    Once he looses the power that somebody will be nobody.

    It appears, - that it took more than one & half years for POTUS's say this,

    However, we Hindustnai's know this point with an extra point that - "our honorable PM has a clear vision without subka saath sabka vikaas action plan" (with so many u turns & ullu-banaawing statements to say the least true)

    By looking at the panchayat election result Gujarat rural population is still waiting for INR 15 lacs (despite opening a jan dhan yojna account on a hope to get this amount)

    May be after 2 years even POTUS may realise himself that he succumbed to ullu banaawing.

    lol

    I do not even understand how praising someone can be considered as a great achievement? Is this all we consider to praise a PM? I thought development and country's Economy should be the priority. Agree?
