I Am Human, Not God: Here’s What To Expect From Narendra Modi’s First Podcast

NEW DELHI: In his debut podcast, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he was a human and not a God. The PM has recorded his first podcast, hosted by Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath. It is likely to be released on Friday. But the trailer has gone viral in which the PM is seen talking on various topics. Modi recalls a speech as Gujarat Chief Minister in the podcast in which he says: “I will not shy away from hard work. I will not do anything for myself. I am human, capable of making mistakes, but I will never do anything wrong with bad intentions.”

“I am also a human not God,” the PM said in the trailer. The PM also advocates for good people to enter politics. He emphasised that good people should come into politics with a mission and not ambition.

Sharing the trailer on X, Modi wrote, “I hope you all enjoy this as much as we enjoyed creating it for you!”
