Amit Shah takes all questions in Modi's first presser as PM

In a surprise move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed his first press conference in 5 years, and asserted confidently that the BJP will come back to power with a full majority on its own. However, his refusal to take questions from journalists perhaps made the event a damp squib .

The prime minister told reporters that he will not take any questions because the press conference is being addressed by Shah, and in BJP's system, discipline needs to be followed. "We are disciplined soldiers of the party," Modi said.
