Veteran Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad, who yesterday shared a stage with other members of the G-23 - a group of senior party leaders who have questioned the Gandhis' leadership style - at a public event in Jammu and Kashmir, today lavished praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Mr Azad, who hails from J&K and served three years as Chief Minister, drew parallels between himself and the Prime Minister, of whom he said "I appreciate he doesn't hide his true self".

The former Rajya Sabha MP, at whose resignation earlier this month the PM choked up and struggled to speak, also warned political leaders (he took no names) against "living in a bubble".
