Ahmadabad: Interacting with students on the occasion of Teachers’ Day, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today said he never dreams of holding the top post as he is bound to respect the mandate given to him by the people of his state till 2017. Responding to a query of student, whether he will come and talk to them after ‘he becomes PM next year’, Modi said, “I never see such dreams (of becoming PM), nor am I going to see such dreams. People of Gujarat have given me the mandate to serve them till 2017 and I have to do this with full strength.”
“Those who dream of becoming something end up destroying themselves. One should not dream of becoming something, but one should dream of doing something,” Modi said when a student asked him whether he will come and interact with them in 2014 after he will become the Prime Minister. Modi said, I never see such dreams (of becoming PM), nor am I going to see such dreams. People of Gujarat have given me a mandate to serve them till 2017 and I have to do this with my full strength. The BJP strongman, who is in the race for the party’s PM candidate, was replying to questions asked by students who had gathered at a function for felicitating best teachers of the state on the occasion of Teacher’s Day. Modi shared the dais with State Governor Kamla Beniwal at the function for the first time after fresh confrontation between them. Beniwal has returned the controversial Gujarat Lokayukta Aayog bill for reconsideration to the government with stinging remarks.
On a question on how many times he gets angry in a day and what does he do when he gets angry, Modi said, “I am also human I am not above the shortcomings humans have. I believe anger can be controlled. It is just about controlling at that moment. If you get angry on others means you fail. More your patience increases the more your anger decreases.
