The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Sunday alleged Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a 'self obsessed narcissist' and his 'Mann Ki Baat' programme has disappointed the nation.
"I find that the Prime Minister is getting detached every day on what is going on in the minds of the people, what are their concerns, what are their priorities? There is a self obsessed narcissism in him when he speaks and that cannot be a substitute for an inclusive politics for a developmental agenda. I think the Prime Minister has in fact disappointed people and every ordinary citizen of this country," said RJD leader Manoj Jha to ANI.
Prime Minister Modi in his bi-monthly radio address Mann Ki Baat, said his government will announce the action plan of his ambitious 'Start-up India, Stand up India' on January 16.
Modi also expressed satisfaction over the successful implementation of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme.
Modi further urged the nation to address the persons with disabilities as 'divyaang', meaning divine body, saying they are endowed with extraordinary power in certain other ways.
