New Delhi: At a time when the opposition is accusing Narendra Modi of creating a cult image of himself and not giving due importance to his cabinet colleagues, the NDA government on Wednesday batted for its ministers and told the Supreme Court that their photos be allowed to be published in government advertisements. Attorney general Mukul Rohatgi requested a bench of Justices Ranjan Gogoi and P C Ghose to reconsider its earlier decision permitting use of photographs of only President, PM and the Chief Justice of India in advertisements.

Rohatgi said publishing picture of only the PM would lead to personality cult which was against the very spirit of its judgment meant to curb the cult image of politicians. "Ministers have become nameless and faceless. Only PM's face is shown in government advertisements. Each minister is as important as PM and there is no basis for allowing photos of only three persons. Why not the photographs of CM and ministers in the Centre and states? This is a democracy and creation of a personality cult would not augur well," Rohatgi told the bench.
