There is no comparison.

However, there are comparisons between Jagan and Maran - both used family links to make money and the are corrupt.

Successful by which account? Jobs, gdp, exports or manufacturing/production? Aimless globetrotting doesn't count

You didn't comment on Jagan and Maran. 

No one (including CONmen) expected China to include Paki terrorist groups in the BRICS declaration. That and China backing off in the Bhutan row show that Modi is doing fine. Trump is unable to convince China on N Korea......

The best time to assess Modi's performance is 2019. If he gets re-elected and BJP gets a clear majority, his second term will help Soonya and her son decide on their future. Meanwhile, your friend Pappu is giving an expert lecture on artificial intelligence in the US. Let us see how many people will show up for it.

Only a Modi bhakt & someone who thinks he is better than others bcz he is a Brahmin can come up with such nonsense.

you really need some OdArpu do you? You should consider Sharmila if Jagan is too busy to make an overseas OdArpu yAtra

MoS Home Kiren Rijiju has said India wants to deport all illegal immigrants even those with UNHCR papers because...

1. Immigrants are susceptible to recruitment by "terror" groups

2. They "not only infringe on rights of Indian citizens but also pose grave security challenges"

3. Influx of migrants also leads to social, political and cultural problems

4. The idea to "ensure the demographic pattern of India is not disturbed"

I never commented on Rahul Gandhi either, is he a Reddy too? Last I checked he is a quarter Brahmin. Like him Jagan is nobody; why would I expend my energies on them? I will criticize them when they're in power. Only two characters on this board show loyalty towards their tribe, I'm not one of them. Don't fall into that nonsense.

I suspect not many psychologists agree with your assertion.

That is the debate now in India after it was discovered that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a hugely popular but divisive figure, was following the Twitter feed of a man who wrote the following this week, after a female journalist was shot to death: “One bitch dies a dog’s death all the puppies cry in the same tune.”

Many Indians were bothered by that message, then doubly disturbed to learn that the writer, Nikhil Dadhich, a prolific tweeter who describes himself as a “Hindu nationalist,” was among the 1,779 accounts their prime minister was following.

“The prime minister shouldn’t be doing that. He’s giving legitimacy to filth,” said Sai Krishna, a medical student in southern India who heard about the nasty message after the journalist, Gauri Lankesh, was killed Tuesday. The police have few leads, but many analysts said they believed the killing was an assassination.

His political party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (commonly referred to as the B.J.P.), is frequently accused of operating what detractors call a troll army — a group of bloggers who quickly swarm online anyone seen as critical of the party. Mr. Modi is following some of these people and in doing so, Mr. Krishna, the medical student, said, was acting “like a passive troll.”

Some of the accounts Mr. Modi follows on Twitter have made misogynistic comments, spread anti-Muslim feelings and dangerous rumors, or made remarks that do not always jibe with his message of tolerance. One account he follows suggested dropping an atomic bomb on Pakistan. The same account called a prominent female journalist a prostitute.

President Trump has even more followers than Mr. Modi — 37.8 million — but follows a scant 45 accounts, many from his own properties. Somehow Katrina Campins, a real estate executive he fired in the first season of his former reality TV show, “The Apprentice,” made the cut this time.

You posted this link and the only connection I could find between Modi and Trump in your link was this. So once again, how is this a similarity?

Trump is a maverick, an egomaniac really interested only in himself, whereas Modi is interested, of course in himself, he is an enormously vain man too, but he is interested in consolidating his party [BJP] and his philosophy’s control over India. He would like to leave a positive legacy behind. It’s unlikely that he will, but he likes to think of himself as a man of history. And he’s building upon this very well-entrenched, very motivated, and very dangerous RSS organization, which Trump certainly doesn’t have and [French leader of the National Front] Le Pen certainly doesn’t have and [Hungary’s] Viktor Orbán doesn’t have. In that sense, Modi has the capacity to do a great deal more damage because of the organizational depth of the RSS and the BJP.

Carry on with your conflicting arguments and keep deceiving yourself; nobody is going to stop you. A right-wing nutcase is a nutcase no matter what part of the world/culture he hails from. Both Modi & Trump, by their actions thus far, proved that they're birds of a feather.

On leaders of today, Shourie said, “Just believe I’m talking about (US President) Donald Trump. Any resemblance closer home is your imagination.”
