“I don’t take tough decisions, I take the right decisions,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Network18 in an exclusive interview when he was asked about how he manages to take tough decisions even when faced with difficult circumstances.

“I don’t take tough decisions, I take the right decisions. Decisions are not tough, decisions should be right; some find them tough,” PM Modi said in an exclusive interview with News18 Group Editor-in-Chief Rahul Joshi, News18 Kannada Editor Hariprasad, and News18 Lokmat anchor Vilas Bade.

‘May be God has sent me for this’

“But, sometimes, I do think about how all of this is possible. Just as you are surprised, I too wonder how Modi does this. Then I think, no, may be God has sent me for this work. Whatever I am doing is inspired by a divine power,” PM Modi said.

“This could be God’s gift, God wants me to do this work and has sent me with a purpose here. And, that’s why, I remain far from the storm,” the Prime Minister said.

‘There are two Gods’

Speaking in detail about his connection with God and how the almighty has chosen his path for him, PM Modi said there are “two Gods” - one, the unseen almighty, and the other, the public, referring to them as “140 crore gods”.

The Prime Minister said the source of his resolve could be a gift from God, who has sent him with a purpose.

He illustrated this by highlighting his own journey from being born into a poor family with no political background to becoming the leader of the country which is the world’s largest democracy.

“I consider the public a form of God. And I have faith in the Almighty, who has sent me for this work while the public has blessed me,” the Prime Minister said.

“… God has probably sent me to do this work. I was born in a family, where my mother was uneducated, had not seen a school. I do not have any political background, and it’s such a big country. So, if this is not God’s will, then what is it?” PM Modi said.

“God has shown me this path, that you should not get entangled in other things and you have to do some big work and must remain engaged with that. So, it is God’s direction, God’s wish, God’s plan, and, perhaps, their influence. I am only an instrument,” he added.

Responding to a question of how he is able to work so much, Modi said he does not live for himself and has dedicated himself to the country.

“I always keep in mind that whatever time I have, I should work for my country every moment. As far as I have been running around, this is a big celebration, like a festival. It is an opportunity to reach out to the public, to visit them and talk to them,” PM Modi said.

“We should see it like that and take advantage of it, meet the public and visit people. It is a celebration of democracy in which we should be involved. So, I consider it like we do when there’s an important puja at home and the way we are involved in it. This is a time for prayers for me as I am worshipping 140 crore gods. I move with this feeling, which keeps me going. I never get tired because I return home after seeing God,” he further said.
