PM Modi reveals on Mann Ki Baat: I never had desire to enter politics

"I never had the desire to enter politics, but since I am part of it now I give my best on how to work for the people," PM Modi said on Sunday.

Communicating with a group of National Cadet Corps cadets in his radio show ‘Mann ki Baat’, PM Modi also stated that as an NCC cadet in his school days, he on no occasion got punished.

In the 59th episode of Mann ki Baat on Sunday, an NCC cadet proposed PM Modi to share his experience of the punishment from his own NCC days. The Prime Minister responded by saying that he on no occasion got punished while he was associated with the NCC stating, "I was disciplined."

"...I did not get punished because I adhered to discipline but once a misunderstanding happened during a camp, I climbed a tree...at first everyone thought it to be indiscipline. Later, everyone realized that I had climbed the tree to free a bird entangled in the thread of a kite...At first, I thought I would be punished but later everyone appreciated me for my act," PM Modi said.

PM Modi also spoke about his preferred destination in India and asked the people who cherishes nature to visit North-East.

"I have always liked being in the Himalayas. But, if someone likes nature-- dense forest, waterfalls and a different ambiance altogether, I would advise them to visit the North East. This will also boost tourism in the North East and will benefit the economy. It will also strengthen the dream of ek bharat, shreshtha bharat," he added.

The Prime Minister also spoke about the importance of Armed Forces Flag Day and paid homage to the bravery of armed forces and also urged people to work towards the betterment of the armed forces.
