"God Sent Me For A Purpose, But...": PM Modi To NDTV
NDTV
"He (God) does not reveal his cards, just keeps making me do things. And I cannot dial him directly to ask what's next," PM Modi told NDTV.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, hoping to win a third term, today said that he believes God has chosen him for a purpose, and he will continue working till that task is done. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, PM Modi said it is his duty to not serve those who have faith in him.
"You will find people who use the foulest abuses (for me), and you will also find those who express good things. My duty is to ensure that those who express faith should not be hurt or disappointed," he said.
"Some may call me crazy, but I am convinced that 'Parmatma' (God) sent me for a purpose. Once the purpose is achieved, my work will be one. This is why I have completely dedicated myself to God," the Prime Minister added.
