The prime minister doesn't speak to the people of this country, he lectures like an insufferable school teacher, mostly giving sermons about useless things. He is always silent on substantive issues affecting the public discourse in India. There is not a shadow of a doubt that a grave impropriety has been committed in the Rafael fighter aircraft deal between the governments of India and France. Why have an otherwise so voluble Mr. Modi on ''Mann Ki Baat'' maintained a studied and embarrassing silence on this? What is stopping him from coming out in the open and deny that there is anything suspicious about the purchase of the aircraft? Why can't he plainly say in public that no pressure was brought to bear upon the French government to give the offset contract to his friend Mr. Anil Ambani who incorporated his firm just 12 days prior to the signing of the agreement between the two governments? If you don't have anything to hide, then you should bring everything in the open. This is surely raising an almighty stink. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
