Mumbai: Accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of practising “silence” since ass-uming power, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Tuesday said his style of governance was “autocratic” which was “not very good” for a healthy democracy.
He claimed that people are “already disillusioned” with the Modi government and cited the recent win of the Congress in Uttarakhand bypolls as “an indication that people have realised their mistake”.
Mr Chavan told PTI that the Congress knew that Mr Modi’s style of running Gujarat was always autocratic and even in the election campaign, the party had said, “We are afraid that there will be a very autocratic government in Delhi and now it is coming to light”.
“Whether it is how the ministers are treated, whether it is who is in the inner core team, what autonomy the ministers get,” he said.
