00:00You know, I used to sell tea at the railway station.
00:30Now, I understand that your mother is very important in your life.
00:35So I'm hoping that you'll tell us a bit about her.
01:01I'm from a very poor family.
01:04You know, I used to sell tea at the railway station.
01:08No one can imagine
01:13that such a big democracy in the world
01:17would consider a tea seller its leader.
01:23My father
01:27is no more.
01:29I have a mother.
01:31She is more than 97 years old.
01:34Even today, she does all her work by herself.
01:37She does everything by herself.
01:43She is not educated.
01:45But because of TV, she knows about the news,
01:48what's going on in the world.
01:50Otherwise, she didn't know anything.
01:53Now, when I was young,
01:55to make a living,
01:59I went to
02:12the houses of my neighbors.
02:26Cleaning the utensils.
02:30Filling water.
02:41Doing labor.
02:55You can imagine
02:57what a mother
03:08must have suffered
03:14to raise her children.
03:18And this
03:20is not only in the case of Narendra Modi.
03:23In India,
03:26there are millions of mothers
03:32who have dedicated
03:34their entire lives
03:36for the dreams
03:38of their children.
03:40They have dedicated their lives.
03:50And that is why
03:54I bow down to all the mothers.
04:01And their inspiration,
04:06their blessings,
04:10have kept us on the right path.
04:16They didn't give us power,
04:20but kept us on the right path.
04:24And that is
04:26the greatest strength of a mother.
