wherever your eyes go
The PM came in front of the mike and after the initial welcome, he said something interesting in the very first line. Modi said, ‘When we were young, we used to recite… I don’t remember the whole words, but I used to listen that do such a thing in your mind, wherever your eyes pass, you will be greeted there.’ The auditorium resounded with thunderous applause. Pratibha Pawar was also present on the stage in the programme. The PM had said that seeing the life of Sharad Rao ji today, it seems that wherever his eyes pass, he will get salute from all sides. Then the PM had said that the reason for this is unbroken devotional practice for more than five decades.
Politician born from the womb of creative works
Modi said that we listen to One Life, One Mission, but it is not easy to devote oneself to it. Most of the leadership that is coming in the country after independence and especially after the 70s, is coming from the womb of political movement. But Sharad Rao is a politician born from the womb of creative works. Father was associated with the cooperative movement, mother was devoted to education even after having a political life. I have closely observed that Sharad Rao’s maximum time is devoted to creative works. Even today if someone goes to Baramati and sees, the fragrance of Sharad family will be felt in some creative activities all around.
Modi said, then we used to live in the street
In this program, Rahul Gandhi and JP Nadda were also sitting in the audience. Modi had said that after having a political life, his main body has been of creative activity. Creative activity is also the root of political success for such a long time. Sharad Rao is an example in himself of how he got the idea to innovate. Modi had said, ‘When he was at the height, we used to live in some street-locality, then we used to hear about him because Gujarat and Maharashtra have a close relationship. Especially in Mumbai, whatever activity happens, even if it rains there, cold starts coming here (Gujarat). One thing came to the fore that he had a reputation as a good administrator. There came a period when the underworld ruined the life of Mumbai and the atmosphere was dark. I say it was the skill of Sharad Rao that he saved Mumbai from the underworld, brought it out. This was his strength.
Modi further said that Sharad Pawar does not hesitate to do what he believes in. Once I went to Israel with him. He said that Modi ji, the problem with you people is that you are more image conscious. You don’t care, keep doing whatever you want because he believed that whatever is there is there.
