'Mistakes happen, I am human, not a God' : PM Modi

New Delhi, Jan 10 (UNI) Recounting his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that “Mistakes will happen, I am human and not a God.”
Modi made these remarks when he appeared as a guest on Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath’s podcast series called ‘People By WTF’.
When he was asked about his old speeches when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, the PM responded: “I said something in an insensitive way. Mistakes happen. I am human, not a God.”
In the podcast he also advocated for good people to enter politics, stressing that they should come with a mission and not ambition.

"In the first term, the people were trying to understand me, and I was trying to understand Delhi. In the second term, I used to think from the perspective of the past. In the third term, my thinking has changed, my morale is high, and my dreams have grown,” Modi said during the podcast.
He asserted that his focus will be on finding solutions to ensure 100 percent delivery of government schemes.
“I want solutions to all problems by 2047 for Viksit Bharat...There should be 100% delivery of government schemes. This is real social justice and secularism. The driving force behind this is AI aspirational India" the Prime Minister further stated.
Addressing the broader challenges of public life, Modi acknowledged that disagreements are common in every sphere, be it family, workplace, or politics.
He stressed the importance of sensitivity in public service, stating that without empathy, one cannot genuinely work for the welfare of others.
