Narendra Modi : from "+one diplomacy" to "-one diplomacy"


News Delhi . It is high time to remind Prime Minister Narendra Modi of his own words uttered during historic China visit last year.
  
Addressing students and faculty in Shanghai's Tsinghua University, Prime Minister Modi said, 
“If the last century was the age of alliances, this is an era of inter-dependence. So, talks of alliances against one another have no foundation. In any case, we (India and China) are both ancient civilizations, large and independent nations. Neither of us can be contained or become part of anyone's plans.”
And more importantly Modi described  his relationship with President XI Jinping as  "+One". Addressing Indian diaspora in Shanghai , Modi said with President Xi Jinping he established a "+One relationship" . Without explaining this equation he said, it would take time for the world at large to comprehend this "+One relationship". '
 So astute 'Narendra' rejected 'Barack's' "Pivot to Asia" policy in no uncertain term and that too on China's soil.
One wonders how these words are compatible with Defence Minster Manohar Parrikar's logistics support agreement (LSA) misadventure .
