New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that blessings from women inspire him to keep working to build a developed India
The PM said this after senior BJP leader and MP from Odisha’s Kendrapada Baijayant Panda shared a story of a tribal woman who insisted on giving Rs 100 to convey her gratitude to Modi.
Sharing pictures, the BJP national vice president said on X that he met the tribal woman during the party’s membership drive in Odisha’s Sundargarh district.
“This Adivasi lady insisted on giving me Rs 100 to ‘convey thanks’ to PM Narendra Modi. She brushed aside my demurrals & explanations that it wasn’t necessary, & simply would not take no for an answer until I finally relented.
“This is a reflection of the transformation that Odisha & Bharat is experiencing,” he said in his post.
Modi responded, “Very touched by this affection. I bow to our Nari Shakti for always blessing me. Their blessings inspire me to keep working to build a Viksit Bharat.”
