He added that the prime minister was very busy and would not be able to give her an appointment. Wearied by the continued refusals, Patil still did not give up hope of meeting Modi. She then logged on to her father’s computer and sent an email to the prime minister. “She introduced herself, adding that “I want to really come and meet you”. Soon, she received a reply from the prime minister, asking her to come soon. The little girl’s joy knew no limits as she read the words “Daud ke chali aao beta (please hurry)”.
