MEA addresses query on PM Modi's lack of press conferences during New Zealand visit
At a briefing regarding PM Narendra Modi's trip to New Zealand, a journalist from the country questioned the Prime Minister's approach to press conferences. In response, MEA Secretary (East) Rudrendra Tandon described Modi as a classic Indian politician, explaining that leaders in India often prioritize direct engagement with their largely rural voter base. Tandon noted that PM Modi has mastered this method of communication and is succeeding, evidenced by his recent election to a third term.
