Mark on Modi

IN A freewheeling conversation with the Indian Journalists’ Association, the veteran BBC broadcaster Sir Mark Tully provided a mature and dispassionate analysis of Narendra Modi’s two years as prime minister.

Basically, Mark said India would never be “saffronised” and that Modi’s period in office would ultimately end in failure unless he focus- ed more on his prom- ised economic reforms and development.

Mark expressed very little confidence in would be Congress PM Rahul Gandhi, though he did not write him off completely.
