New Delhi: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Wednesday credited Narendra Modi’s aprasiddh (not famous) stint with the Hindutva organisation for his “bright” journey as Gujarat Chief Minister and then the Prime Minister.
If Modi had continued working within the RSS, few outside the organisation would have known him, he said at the release of a book, Making of a Legend, on the Prime Minister.
“But if we give it some thought, we will realise that it was his aprasiddh (not famous) journey till he became the Chief Minister that led to such brightness surrounding his journey as CM and PM,” he said.
The outside world would have little time to appreciate his work if he had remained in the RSS, Bhagwat said, adding that the outfit, however, would have still realised his importance.
As a karyakarta and swayamsevak Mr Modi remains the same person he was before becoming the Gujarat CM, and publicity and fame have not impacted him, the RSS chief said.
Heaping praise on Modi, he said the PM had attributes like hard work, courage, patience, wisdom, strength and valour.
