Sure, why not? Take credit for whatever you have done, it's naive to think that politicians will not showcase their work. Tell me what do you write in your resume?

Finding personal faults with any public person is pointless (as in having an effect on you). What matters is whether the results are good/bad.

I have 2 issues with what Modi does

* His list of achievements is absurd and factually incorrect, and he rarely gives credit to others who contributed.

* He hates criticism and tries to muzzle it. A politician should not interfere with the press but he does so. He has gotten journalists fired because they criticised him.

He's always reflected the praise towards the scientific community as far as I can see:

Just read the tweets on his profile... A sample: https://mobile.twitter.com/narendramodi/status/1110862796437...

It's like... Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

If you're going to blindly criticise anyone without considering things out of your bubble, that's your prerogative.
