New Delhi: PM Modi has blended good governance with participatory democracy to render the opposition’s “false narrative” and anti-incumbency factor irrelevant, defence minister Rajnath Singh said Saturday, virtually kick-starting BJP’s campaign to mark its pre-eminent leader’s 25-year unbroken run as head of govt.“Those building false narrative against Modi cannot understand what they should do. Sometimes they incite students, sometimes they try to divide society in the name of caste,” he said in an apparent swipe at leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi.He said that when people see their lives changed by welfare schemes for farmers, housing and health, then no narrative works. “Kaam bolta hai (work speaks). Modi has left factors like astroturfing and anti-incumbency behind,” he said at the event organised by Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini, a research and leadership-training institute with links to BJP.Rajnath said Modi, since his days as Gujarat CM, pioneered a model of governance that focused on a participatory model of democracy and scaled it nationally as PM.
