New Delhi [India], August 27 (ANI): Congress Media and Publicity Chairman Pawan Khera said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi keeps forgetting that India's G20 presidency is a rotational one and not because of the fact that he is the Prime Minister.
"He (PM Modi) forgets that it (G20) is a rotational presidency. It's not because he's the Prime Minister," the Congress leader said speaking to ANI.
Making his point further that India's G20 presidency has nothing to do with who the Prime Minister is, Pawan Khera said, "Anyone would have been the PM and India would still have been the president of G20."
"If he thinks that people of India are fools then he's sadly mistaken," he added.
Earlier in the day in his latest edition of his monthly radio broadcast — 'Mann Ki Baat' Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that India is fully geared to host the G20 Summit, which is to be hosted in the national capital.
He added that the summit next month, which is being hosted under India's presidency of the G20, will give the world an insight into the country's potential and rising global heft.
With world leaders and delegates from over 40 countries expected to attend the event, Prime Minister Modi said the event in India will witness the biggest participation in the history of the G20 Summit. He said India's G20 presidency is “people’s presidency”, with public participation being at its forefront.
"The month of September will give the world a glimpse of India's potential. We are fully prepared to host the G20 Leaders Summit next month in Delhi. Heads of 40 countries and many global organisations will be here to participate in the event. The event this year will see the biggest participation in the history of the G20 Summit,” PM Modi said.
“Our Presidency of G20 is a people's presidency where the spirit of public participation is at the forefront. Eleven Engagement Groups of G20 — from academia, civil society, youth, women, our parliamentarians, entrepreneurs and people associated with urban administration — combined to play a critical role in helping us host this event," he added.
