Prime Minister Narendra Modi has engaged in a special dialogue with Aaj Tak before filing for his third nomination from Varanasi, expressing a profound personal bond with the city and the sacred river Ganges. Overwhelmed with emotion, he recalls his late mother's influence and declares the Ganges as his maternal figure in her absence.
Modi reflects on how the affection from the people continually increases his sense of duty as a servant of the nation, approaching every task as an offering to the divine.
'The citizens are my God,' asserts PM Modi, regarding serving the public as a form of worship.
Emphasizing his divine purpose, he states that the Almighty chose him for a special role in service to India. Modi views every citizen as a divine being, dedicating every moment of his life to the nation.
Throughout the interview, PM Modi recalls two critical lessons from his mother - to never accept bribes and never forget the poor - principles that have guided his political journey.
He clarifies that issues like the Ram temple are matters of faith, not campaign topics, and emphasizes the spiritual over the political. Modi asserts his commitment to surpassing electoral targets and criticizes opponents for their absence post-defeat, hinting at a loss of connection with the people.
