A tea-seller's son can head a country only in India, US: Hagel

[thesolar65]

New Delhi, Aug 9: Seeking to draw parallels between India and the US, American Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel today said there are few places in the world other than the two democratic countries where a tea-seller's son can become the Prime Minister or a Kenyan's child can become the President. "There are few places in the world other than India and the US where the son of a tea-seller in a small-time town can rise to be the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) or the child of a Kenyan father can rise to be the President (Barack Obama)," he said while talking about the opportunities available in the two countries. The American Defence Secretary was speaking at the Silver Jubilee function of the Observer's Research Foundation (ORF). Before joining politics and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Modi used to sell tea in trains and help his father run a small tea stall in a town in Gujarat. Obama's father was of Kenyan origin and his mother an American citizen.

You ever think there was immense pressure from Congress (Sonia and Rahul) to put Modi into that corner?

That's all subjective. When you are foriegn nation trying to change the future of relations and Sonia/Rahul dangle this carrot in front of you with their BS evidence, its hard to stick to your pov.

Not an appropriate advertisement of democracy to be honest when US of A needed 238 long years to make a president of Kenyan descent. No matter what is he trying to prove or sell but a careful choice of example would have been much appreciated.

Kyu bhai,Manmohan govt socha hai kya.....Keep your utter dislike to yourself ,you can open one or two threads for this but to itch to blame govt. for nothing in random thread is just not acceptable.

P.S-Behave like an elite
