Gandhinagar, 9 June (IANS). Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri Award winner Dr. Tejas Patel praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a conversation with news agency IANS, he described PM Modi’s personality, his working style and his contribution to the country as unique.
Dr. Patel said, “When Modi ji was not the Chief Minister of Gujarat, he (PM Modi) met him (PM Modi) in connection with a patient. At that time, while working in the hospital, he saw CM Modi’s talent and impressive personality. I was impressed by his sharp and confidence. Even after becoming the Chief Minister, he continued to meet in various ceremonies and his specialties came out every time.”
Dr. Patel described PM Modi’s memory as amazing. He said, “They remember people even after years by name. There are five hundred or thousand people, yet they remember old things and references. Their memory is like a hard disk of computer. Their habit of going deeply in every subject impressed me. Whether it is the case of the medical field or someone else, they do not depend on others. They try to understand everything in detail and understand everything.”
Dr. Patel said, “Recently, he was present in the meeting of PM Modi for more than one hour on stem cell innovation with a foreign doctor.
He said that every field has progressed and wherever the government’s help was needed, it was immediately met. Earlier there was a problem of red tape, but now it has reduced to a great extent. It is a big achievement for India that we have PMs like Modi ji.
Dr. Patel also appreciated the change in prize distribution. He said that earlier it was said that the awards are distributed like politics, but it changed in the Modi government. Now the awards are being received by the right and capable people.
Dr. Patel received Padma Shri in 2015 and Padma Bhushan in 2024. He said, “When I went to take the award, I saw that social activists, scientists and doctors of a remote village of Arunachal were also getting respect. I have been very impressed to see this. Now there has been transparency and fairness in the awards. Someone has a unique and significant contribution, only then the award is being received.
According to Padma Bhushan Tejas Patel, PM Modi has given the countrymen a lot of opportunity to make pride. He said, “Modi ji’s thinking, his hard work and dedication to the country have made India proud.”
