Nehru was India's best PM; Modi master of falsehoods: Jairam Ramesh

Jawaharlal Nehru is the best prime minister of India has had, while Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel is the best prime minister the country could not have, according to Congress leader Jairam Ramesh.

During an interview with PTI Videos, he also dismissed the RSS people as “fraudulent nationalists”, while dubbing Prime Minister Narendra Modi “the master of falsehoods”. Giving one-word answers during a segment of the wide-ranging interview, Ramesh described Home Minister Amit Shah as being about “bluff and bluster”.

Asked about who he regards as the best prime minister India has had, Ramesh said, “undoubtedly Jawaharlal Nehru”.

On “best PM India could not have”, Ramesh picked Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
