Prime Minister Narendra Modi met his mother in Gujarat and sought her blessings
Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote a blog dedicated to his mother as she entered the 100th year of her life on Saturday, highlighting her sacrifices and various aspects of her life which "shaped" his mind, personality, and self-confidence.
He also met his mother in Gujarat and sought her blessings.
Prime Minister Modi said his mother always inspired him to have a strong resolve and focus on "garib kalyan" (welfare of poor), a theme of his government's numerous welfare schemes.
When the BJP picked him to be the Gujarat chief minister in 2001, he said, his mother was ecstatic and told him, "I don't understand your work in the government but I just want you to never take a bribe." Prime Minister Modi said his mother found happiness in other people's joys and was extremely large-hearted.
