The government talks through its official channels, such as cabinet ministers, spokespersons and secretaries, and also Prime minister. What makes you think the Foreign/Finance/Defence/Home ministry statement is any less than a statement from PM himself?

Yes, there should be channels and delegation. But PM is also answerable to people and should appear to take questions from press. Giving a statement is not same as answering open questions from press.

United States also have different official channels and they all do their thing on their level. But that does not mean that PM/President gets a free run.

People have voted and they are okay with his decisions. He got more votes than his previous elections

Who decides that? Only elections can. Let's see what happens in the next general elections

Yes, CBI had to take some unpopular decisions. But they did

Seems like we have went full circle. So I am pasting my comment again.

"The Nazi Party’s meteoric rise to power began in 1930, when it attained 107 seats in Germany’s parliament, the Reichstag. In July 1932, the Nazi Party became the largest political party in the Reichstag with 230 representatives" Sounds very similar, but above is from Holocaust encyclopedia. [1]

CBI is BJP and BJP is CBI. [2]
