Olympic Gold medallist Neeraj Chopra is bowled over by PM Modi’s unpretentious behaviour. Recalling his interaction with the Prime Minister when the latter hosted all athletes and supporting staff at his residence over breakfast, he said that we never felt like we were speaking to the PM. He said that PM Modi was extremely cordial with every person present over there.

Neeraj said that PM Modi knew even personal details about each and every player and who had said what before leaving for the Olympics. He said that such unpretentious behaviour of PM Modi felt very pleasant and natural. He even talked about the transformations taking place in the Indian sporting world.

He further said, “After Narendra Modi Sir became the PM, Indian sports have seen many changes. Like Khelo India. Before participating in any event, we get a lot of support from him. He asks the citizens to cheer for us. This time during the Olympics, things were very different. After returning from the Games, all the athletes received equal respect, irrespective of whether they had won a medal or not. Regardless of the status of medals, he met every athlete, which was very heartening.”

Prime Minister shares a Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the true resolve of a representative
April 29, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam today highlighting the true resolve of a representative.

The Prime Minister remarked that as vigilant citizens of the country, it is our duty to ensure record voting to make democracy even stronger.

The Prime Minister wrote on X:

"देश के एक सजग नागरिक के रूप में हमारा कर्तव्य है कि हम लोकतंत्र को और अधिक सशक्त बनाने के लिए रिकॉर्ड मतदान सुनिश्चित करें। इस तरह हम न केवल भारतवर्ष के नवनिर्माण में अपनी सक्रिय भागीदारी निभा सकते हैं, बल्कि एक समर्थ और समृद्ध राष्ट्र की नींव को और मजबूत कर सकते हैं।

राज्ञो हि व्रतमुत्थानं यज्ञः कार्यानुशासनम्।

दक्षिणा वृत्तिसाम्यं च दीक्षितस्याभिषेचनम्॥"

From the perspective of the welfare of the people, continuously uplifting them, faithfully performing duties as a sacred responsibility, ensuring fair judgment, giving generously, treating everyone with equality, and keeping oneself pure, disciplined and dedicated with a consecrated spirit, this is the true resolve of a representative.
