PM Modi said only one single-engine helicopter was available to go to Godhra and security agencies had refused to let him/her go. Still I took the risk.

When Modi said- I am not a VIP…

PM Modi said that I quarreled with those people that I am not a VIP, I am a common man. I give it in writing that if anything happens, it will be my responsibility. After this we reached Godhra. The painful scene that I saw after reaching Godhra left me deeply disturbed. So many dead bodies… I am also a human being, whatever was supposed to happen happened. But I was in such a position (Chief Minister) that I had to control my emotions and natural tendencies. I did the same.

What does PM Modi say after meeting the students, told the whole thing

PM Modi said that this is what I explain to the students I meet during the discussion on exams. I tell them to put it out of their mind that they are going to do something. Approach the exam as if it is a part of routine activity. Don’t try to wear any special new clothes. I have never thought about life or death. I don’t think like someone who follows calculations in life, so I won’t be able to answer this. I never set out to get where I am today.
