Mayor joins session

UT Mayor Anup Gupta became part of PM Narendra Modi’s ‘Pariksha Pe Charcha’ initiative by joining live telecast at Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 21.

In reply, PM Modi started off saying criticism was essential for democracy and it helped him rethink, review and re-plan. It helped him improve, he said. “But it has to be constructive criticism. If it is criticism for the sake of it, then one must turn a deaf ear to it, but advice and criticism from family must be kept in mind and one should take it as positive criticism,” PM Modi replied to her question.
