Vice-President Dhankhar Parallels Modi's Leadership with Chanakya's Wisdom

Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, in a recent public address, lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership by drawing compelling similarities with the ancient strategist Kautilya, also known as Chanakya. Dhankhar, appreciating the ethos of Modi's governance, remarked that it reflects Kautilya's comprehensive treatise on statecraft and administration outlined in the Arthashastra.

Dhankhar underscored Kautilya's foresight about shifting alliances, using the phrase 'a neighboring state is an enemy, and enemy's enemy is a friend,' and highlighted India's commitment to global peace and welfare. He praised Modi's visionary leadership that, in over a decade, has sparked transformative changes across India.

Emphasizing participatory democracy, Dhankhar pointed out how initiatives like 'Aspirational Districts' demonstrate Modi's innovative approach. He further noted that the development of smart cities under Modi's regime emphasizes equitable growth, echoing the ancient wisdom that balancing power leads to societal welfare, firmly rooting governance in the democratic spirit.
