During the interview, PM Modi said, “I too make mistakes. I am human, not God.” This statement, reflecting his humility, has sparked widespread discussion. He also shared insights on his first and second terms, stating that during the initial phase, he was trying to understand Delhi, while people were trying to understand him. He added that this mutual understanding has improved over time.
When asked about the increasing global conflicts, PM Modi clarified that India is not neutral but firmly stands for peace. “We have consistently said that we are not neutral; we are on the side of peace,” he remarked.
Speaking about the role of youth in politics, the PM emphasized that young people should join politics with a sense of purpose rather than ambition.
This is PM Modi’s first podcast interview, and he expressed uncertainty about how the audience would receive it. Kamath released a 2-minute 13-second trailer of the interview on Thursday, offering glimpses into their conversation. The full podcast will soon be available on Kamath’s YouTube channel.
In the trailer, PM Modi’s bold responses and Kamath’s intriguing questions promise an engaging dialogue. The podcast is expected to offer a deeper understanding of PM Modi’s thoughts and perspectives on various issues.
