Narendra Modi was so hurt and upset with his Minister of State Sadhvi Niranjana Jyoti’s controversial remarks that he wanted to show the minister the door right away. But the minute he saw the Opposition’s stubborn stance against her, he changed his mind. Reliable sources close to Modi believe that the prime minister is of the firm opinion that if he listens to the Opposition even once, the latter will bay for the ruling party’s blood. And at a time when all Opposition parties are getting together against the ruling coalition, giving an inch away to them will mean a lot of scope for them to try and get more. That is reason Modi decided that come what may, the government will not bend before the Opposition.
