The Congress slammed the Centre Saturday over the UGC asking universities and colleges to set up selfie points to highlight “transformative initiatives propelling India’s growth”, alleging that PM Narendra Modi is leaving no stone unturned to save his “flailing image” in the run-up to Lok Sabha polls.
TMC leader Derek O’Brien also took a dig at the BJP-led Centre in a post on X and said: “PM = Photo Mantri. Mr @narendramodi Did You Know, UGC has asked universities to set up ‘selfie points’ with your image in the background.” Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said at the fag end of 10 years, the people of India are sick and tired of this “obnoxious level of self-promotion”.
Sharing a media report on X on the UGC asking universities and colleges to set up selfie points, Ramesh said, “Our selfie-obsessed and self-obsessed PM is so insecure in the run up to Lok Sabha polls that he’s leaving no stone unturned to save his flailing image.”
The UGC has asked universities and colleges across the country to set up selfie points at strategic locations in the campus to raise awareness among youngsters about India’s achievements in various fields, according to officials.
“These selfie points will not only serve as a source of pride, but also enlighten every citizen about the transformative initiatives that have propelled India’s growth on the global stage,” UGC Secretary Manish Joshi has said.
