Reacting to PM Narendra Modi's 'Man Vs Wild' appearance alongside host and adventure enthusiast Bear Grylls on August 12, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, on Monday, has sarcastically commented on PM Modi's PR skills saying that he knows how to strike a chord with every generation.
On the other hand, CPI(ML) leader Kavita Krishnan has not been so tacit about her disdain for PM Modi's wildlife adventure. She has called him a fascist, climate change denier, forest communities' killer and a corporate crony who wishes to destroy wilds in India & Australia. She further condemns the British Discovery Channel TV host for featuring such a personality on his show.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal meanwhile took a dig at the previous Modi government's claiming down 1,09,75,844 trees in 5 years for "development" with no reforestation efforts.
The Prime Minister himself took to Twitter to promote the episode, stressing his world-wide fans to visit different parts of India and add to the discourse of environmental conservation.
