Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that he focussed on his work for 125 crore Indians and believed that election results were only by-products of it. And he believed the blessings of 125 crore Indians were with him for his next examination.
He was sharing his views on how to handle examinations with school students here and used the simile in reply to a question by a Class 11 student, who reminded him that they were both going to face “examinations” one year later.
Telling the student that such a question suggested he should be a journalist, Mr. Modi said, “Focus on your studies and work. Make it the dharma of your life. Exams and results should be by-products of that. I do the same in politics. For 125 crore Indians, I devote my time, energy and capability. Polls will come and go: they are just by-products,” the Prime Minister told a gathering.
