Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his ideas on wind turbine energy, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday said the real danger to India isn’t that the PM doesn’t understand but that people around him lack the guts to tell him that.
Sharing a video clip of an interaction between PM Modi and Vestas CEO Henrik Anderson on Twitter, Rahul Gandhi wrote, “The real danger to India isn’t that our PM doesn’t understand. It’s the fact that nobody around him has the guts to tell him.”

WHAT IS IN THE VIDEO?
In the video clip shared by Rahul Gandhi, PM Modi is seen talking to Henrik Anderson about the diversified role of turbines.
“At places where moisture is more, turbines could suck water and provide clean, drinking water. This way, with wind energy, we can also get water from the air,” PM Modi tells Vestas CEO.
PM Modi added that this could solve the problem of drinking water in coastal areas.
PM Narendra Modi then suggests that tapping the potential of separating oxygen from the air through turbines. “This will be challenging but if it can be done, the oxygen market can be captured. This will be 3-in-1with energy, we get water and oxygen,” PM Modi says.
PM then goes on to ask the Vestas CEO if his scientists will be able to do something in this direction.
To this, CEO Henrik Andersen says, “Smiling at your passion and excitement. You should come to Denmark. You will be an idea generator for researches both in India and Denmark. Can’t say how pleased I am with your ideas.”
