PM Modi turns photographer after releases Namibian cheetahs at Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi released cheetahs flown in from Namibia at the Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh on his 72nd birthday today, the Congress party called the event a "tamasha," orchestrated by him as another diversion from pressing national issues and the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’.

Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary and in-charge communications alleged that the Prime Minister "hardly ever acknowledges continuity in governance" and the Cheetah project was the latest example of that.

"PM hardly ever acknowledges continuity in governance. Cheetah project going back to my visit to Capetown on 25.04.2010 is the latest example," Ramesh, who was the Environment and Forest minister during 2009-11. The tamasha orchestrated by PM today is unwarranted and is yet another diversion from pressing national issues and Bharat Jodo Yatra," he tweeted.
