EVERY Kingdom had its own
language and style of working developed over centuries. Sometimes palace
courtiers spoke in sign language and the message was passed on. This was to
keep a check on intrigues. Our Prime Minister’s Office is following this
century old dictum. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not very well conversant
with English language. He is fluent in Hindi but he is more comfortable in
Gujarati. He first reads Gujarati newspapers in the morning. Insiders reveal
that whenever any important issue is discussed, which is not supposed to be
known to others in the PMO at that point of time, the top-ranking officials,
who hails from the Gujarat cadre, speak in Gujarati. Modi took extra precaution
when the decision of demonetisation was being taken. He and his close
officials, including one important secretary of the concerning ministry, opted
to talk in Gujarati. Sources disclosed that even otherwise the top-ranking
Gujarati cadre officials prefer to speak in Gujarati. So, in the PMO when the
officials started talking in Guajarati only, it is an indication that an
important issue is being discussed and a decision is being taken on it.
