During his visit to his Parliamentary constituency of Varanasi to inaugurate an array of projects including a multispeciality hospital and the tallest statue of Shayama Prasad Mukherjee on 16 February, Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi met with Mangal Kewat, the rickshaw puller who had sent PM Modi an invite to his daughter's wedding, reports Asian News International (ANI).
At the meeting, PM Modi lauded Kewat's contribution to the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan as he had taken up the onus on himself to clean the banks of Ganga in his village. PM Modi also enquired about health and well-being of Kewat and his family.
The meeting took place as Kewat and his wife Renu Devi had expressed the desire to meet with PM Modi after they had received a congratulatory letter from him on their daughter's wedding on 8 February.
It should be noted that Kewat had personally travelled to the PM's Office in New Delhi to hand over the letter inviting him.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
