‘I am human, not God’: PM Modi
During the podcast, Nikhil asks PM Modi what talent a young person aspiring to be a leader should possess. PM Modi responds that politics needs a continuous influx of good people—those driven by a mission, not ambition. He further stated, “When I became Chief Minister, I gave a speech. I said then that mistakes happen, and I make them too. I am human, not God.”
Discussion on Wars
Addressing questions about the current global situation, particularly wars, PM Modi stated, “We are constantly saying that we are not neutral. I keep saying that I am in favour of peace.”
