RS: It's astonishing that a man who used to sell tea and beg for food has now become a brand himself. Comics are written on you, chips and vegetables are sold in your name. Miscellaneous goods are sold in your name.
Modi: It is astonishing, I admit. If you consider my background - I am the Chief Minister of Gujarat and my mother still resides in a small house in the village. I am surprised myself as I don't have any background. It's like a miracle that has worked in my life. I don't understand what people want out of me or the party, I don't know.
RS: Congress feels that you have prepared a huge underground team who work constantly on social media to create Narendra Modi's image.
Modi: Congress is right for once. I have worked underground in 1975 and 1977 - two years when Mrs Indira Gandhi had imposed emergency on the nation and had imprisoned important leaders. Police were hunting for me too. Then I would wear a turban and stay dressed as a Sardar to hide my identity. Since then Congress is scared of me. My life is an open book. It is true that lakhs of people ae associated with me in this election who have got nothing to do with BJP, politics. They are only concerned about the nation. Over 10000 people have come from
overseas to assist. I met around 400 youngsters. They are all IITians. They have been putting efforts in their own way. I don't even know those people. But if I don't know that doesn't not mean it's underground.
