New Delhi: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi yesterday dodged questions on whether he wanted to be prime minister, saying his mantra in life is “don’t dream of becoming, but dream of doing” and added that though he had never dreamt of becoming chief minister, he became one.
At the India Today conclave here, Modi said he learns from people who do good work. “If anyone does good work, I call them and learn how they do it. Like a student, I listen and then I apply it in Gujarat. If the Gujarat model of development is appreciated, then why not learn from it.. It is not necessary for me to come to Delhi.”
To persistent questioning on whether he wanted to be PM, the chief minister whose state has notched impressive nine percent growth and all round development, said: “In my life there is a mantra, which when I meet youngsters I tell them to keep in mind. Don’t dream of becoming, dream of doing… Keep doing and let it find its own way.” IANS
