NEW DELHI: Politicians should shun the normal temptation of having more and more power and divest themselves of it, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said today. He said an effective Government must have a high value of credibility. Addressing a book release event at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on the third anniversary of the Modi government, Jaitley said that one of earliest policy decisions taken by the government was to eliminate any scope of discretion. It paid dividend, he said. PM's 'Mann Ki Baat' influential communication platform: VP

NEW DELHI: Vice President Hamid Ansari today said that radio programme 'Mann Ki Baat' is an ingenious and influential communication platform created by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Ansari said leaders of men and women necessarily feel the need to communicate with their followers in order to get the message across, generate enthusiasm and repel doubts. The vice president said history abounds in instances of leaders moving crowds with the power of words. "Semantics differentiates between an orator and a demagogue; both speak to persuade; both play on emotions. The difference is often subjective and depends on the trust reposed by the audience," he said. A good Notice example of it was the four-term American President Franklin Roosevelt who once confessed to being a juggler It is to be notified to the publice in general that I, appliyng for who never let his left hand know what the right hand does the Date of Birth certificate of my son Yuvi Mehra S/o Pawan and who was perfectly willing to mislead and tell untruths, Kumar & Smt Neha Mehra born on 19/12/2012.
