New Delhi: Launching an attack against the Congress-led government at the centre, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi yesterday said erosion of trust in governance was the biggest problem the nation faced.

Addressing an audience in the US through video conferencing, Modi said the country is being ruled by weak leaders. “I know what damage it can cause, when rulers of a country are weak. You should look at the incidents of the past one month,” Modi said.

“The biggest problem in the country is the lack of confidence. The actions of people in the top posts have resulted in erosion of trust. We have to bring back confidence in the system, the processes, intentions, policies and morality. This is the biggest challenge before the country,” he said.

Modi, faced with a controversy over the communal riots of 2002 in Gujarat, said development should be “inclusive”.
