Mumbai: Noted technocrat Sam Pitroda, who is credited as the father of the nation's telecom revolution, today flayed the Narendra Modi government for snatching away all the credit for the digital revolution started by Rajiv Gandhi, saying Modi "did not" initiate the digital India drive.

"Modi didn't start digital India...It's a journey which started 25 years ago and it will take 20 more years," Pitroda, who was roped in by the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1984 as head of the Telecom Commission, said while launching his autobiography 'Dreaming Big: My Journey to Connect India', here this evening.
