How are you, how is your family, PM asks ministers

January 05, 2015 13:18

Prime Minister Narendra Modi always makes it a point to ask about the well-being of the families of his ministerial colleagues. On seeing Arun Jaitley and Venkaiah Naidu, the PM is believed to have asked them to take their medicines regularly and exercise. The PM told Jaitley to alter his pre-surgery clothes (mostly pyjama kurtas) to his current size. Jaitley lost around 15 kilos after he underwent a gastric bypass surgery in October.
But the PM is tough taskmaster as well -- he insists his ministers study the cabinet notes and files before they arrive at Cabinet meetings.
