Modi finest administrator in country, no doubt about it: Narayana Murthy

Narendra Modi seems to have added another name to his list of illustrious admirers. After Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani made their admiration evident when they turned up at the Vibrant Gujarat meet, now Infosys chairman emeritus NR Narayana Murthy has also sung praises for the Gujarat Chief Minister.

Murthy, who was in Vadodara to receive an award, reportedly said the Gujarat CM was the “finest administrator in country” and said “there was no doubt about it”.

The Indian Express quoted Murthy as saying:

“It is clear just from the data on the ground that this state has done extremely well. I do not know how it is in certain human development indices like nutrition, healthcare, etc. So I am not in a position to comment on that. But having looked at cities like Ahmedabad and Vadodara, I must say he (Modi) has done well,” he said.

The former Infosys chief however, pointed out that there were good ideas that could be taken from various states and not just Gujarat.

“Maharashtra has performed well in some areas, Karnataka has demonstrated well on the IT front while Tamil Nadu has demonstrated in attracting automobile companies. So in addition to Gujarat’s wonderful experience, we also have to learn from other states,” he was quoted as saying in the Times of India .
