Never said Modi incorruptible: WikiLeaks

“Views remain divided on whether Modi's leadership style will help or harm him if he enters national politics.

In public, Modi can be charming and likable.

By all accounts, however, he is an insular, distrustful person... He reigns more by fear and intimidation than by inclusiveness and consensus, and is rude, condescending and often derogatory to even high level party officials.  

He hoards power...” one such diplomatic cable under a sub-heading “Modi's Leadership Style” said.

The US Embassy, though, added that all of its interlocutors acknowledged that Modi is a modest man “who, unlike many elected officials in India, has not used his position to enrich himself or his family”.
