I am a disciplined soldier: Modi

May 20, 2014 13:01

Narendra Modi says, "On September 13, I was given a responsibility and on September 15, I began work as a party worker and on May 10, when election campaign ended. I told Rajnath ji, I have to report. As a disciplined soldier, I reported to the party president that the job you have entrusted me I have tried to discharge but I could not do one thing. On May 9, I had to cancel one meeting... there may have been some deficiencies, I may not have been able to live up to all of your expectations.

"It was said I was here for the first time. This keeps happening to me. I saw the Vidhan Sabha after I became chief minister."
