Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence, where the NDA leaders were slated to have dinner tonight, is no stranger to grandeur and the optics of the incumbent government but it was a decidedly more mundane concern that caused the plans for the evening to be shelved.

The dinner, planned for the same evening at the residence of BJP president and Union Minister JP Nadda too has been cancelled. The move has been attributed to the floods devastating large parts of North India, especially Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, leaving scores of victims and causing havoc on the roads.

According to government sources, the decision to call off the dinner was taken respect the current difficult situation in the region, and any potential challenges some attendees might face in travelling to the gathering given the unpredictable weather.

While it's a rare occurrence for a political gathering to be called off, the decision to cancel the dinner is being seen as a markedly different approach to governance, where the optics of governance and image upkeep often take precedence over assessing the public mood and handling of crises, usually attributed to the administration. It is a deft move from the PM and the NDA to keep the focus on the actual issue at hand, and ensure that all efforts are directed towards helping victims and tackling the crisis.

Given the unprecedented flooding and the devastating toll it has had on the region, all eyes will now be on how the administration and governments tackle the situation, and aid relief and rehabilitation efforts.

End.

Go!
