PM Narendra Modi To Bond With Students On Teachers’ Day

When Manmohan Singh served his term as the Prime Minister of India, he was termed as the silent PM because of how less he spoke, on issues trivial or not. His successor, Narendra Modi, is known to burst into ex tempore speeches at several occasions, and is also known to use his vocal chords to the best of their ability. 
 
However, there was something different when they addressed the US Congress in the capacity as the Indian PMs. PM Modi, who was in the US for an official visit, used 15% fewer words than Manmohan Singh had used in his speech to the joint sitting of the US Congress. 
 
As against Singh's speech in 2005 that had 3,264 words, Modi's speech comprised of 2,754 words. 
 
However, the one similarity between their speeches was that none of them mentioned their predecessors, even though both made references to their contributions to Indo-US relations. 
 
While Singh had chosen Nehru as the icon in his speech, Modi used Ambedkar to derive at a similar point. 
 
Even though Modi did bring the topic of Indo-US civil nuclear deal twice, he did not mention Manmohan Singh even once. Similarly, Manmohan Singh, when he addressed the joint sitting of the American Congress on July 19, 2005, had not mentioned his predecessor Atal Bihar Vajpayee, but had used his quote of India and America being "natural allies."

PM Modi spoke 500 words lesser than his predecessor Manmohan Singh, in his speech at the US Congress

NEW DELHI: In the last nine months, he made millions in India run through an entire gamut of emotions: anger, aversion, pluck, mirth, amazement and much more. In all these speeches, <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> looked like a man in control of his emotions. But on Tuesday, after being elected leader of the <keyword id="14666" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="BJP">BJP</keyword> parliamentary party — in other words, the PM elect — he choked with emotions. Modi wept. 
 
<a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/lok-sabha-elections-2014/news/Full-text-of-Narendra-Modis-speech-in-Central-Hall-of-Parliament/articleshow/35420762.cms">Read full text of Narendra Modi's speech in Central Hall of Parliament</a> 
 
Before him, his senior L K Advani had wept. In fact, he triggered the emotions in Modi. Years from now those present at Parliament's historic Central Hall on Tuesday, may or may not remember what Modi said. But few, if any, will ever forget the moment when tears welled up in the BJP leader's voice and eyes revealing a carefully concealed softer side. 
 
Responding to Advani's speech where he had said that Modi had done the party a kripa (favour), he said, "Advaniji ne ek shabd kahaa. Main Advanji se prarthna karoonga ki woh iss shabd ka istmaal na kare. Unhone kaha ki Narendra bhai ne kirpa ki (Advaniji said that I have done a favour to BJP. I will request him not to use this term)." 
 
 
 
At this juncture, the BJP leader broke down. He paused to sip water and took a moment to gather himself before continuing. 
 
"Kya ma ki seva kabhi kirpa ho sakti hai? Katai nahin ho sakti hai. Jaise Bharat meri ma hai waise hi BJP bhi meri ma hai. Aur isliyee beta kabhi ma par kirpa nahin karta, sirf samarpit bhav se ma ki sewa karta hai (Can a son do any favour by serving the mother? Not at all. Like India, BJP is also my mother. A son never does any favour. He only serves his mother in a dedicated manner)," he said. 
 
 
 
Like a gifted artist who makes the audience sway with the emotion, Modi appeared to be making others emotional. Some like Ravi Shankar Prasad were tearful. 
 
It was evident right from the very beginning that it was day of emotional drama. While entering the Parliament building, Modi knelt and placed his forehead on the green carpeted steps like a devotee before a temple. "This is the temple of democracy," he said later. 
 At the start his speech, Modi was overcome up with feelings while talking about former BJP <keyword id="71" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Prime-Minister">Prime Minister</keyword> <keyword id="47100" type="PERSON" weightage="40" keywordseo="Atal-Bihari-Vajpayee">Atal Bihari Vajpayee</keyword>, who is unwell. "Had Vajpayeeji been well, his presence would have been 'sone par suhaga' (icing on the cake)." 
 
Throughout the speech, Modi underlined the power of the pause during speech. Emotions aside, he not only displayed his command over the Hindi language but also spoke like a man in total control and command of everything he surveys.

Indians Create Magic With Mouse: Modi 
Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again stressed that India was once known as a world of snake charmers, now with help of 'mouse' the people of the country have woven magic in the world of information and technology (IT). 
 
"I was in Taiwan some years ago; someone wanted to ask a question and was hesitating. He asked if I won't feel bad, I said go ahead. He said I heard India is a land of black magic and snake charmers. I said no, our forefathers maybe would play with snakes but we play with the (computer) mouse," he said in his address.

Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword>’s <keyword id="58687" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bharatiya-Janata-Party">Bharatiya Janata Party</keyword> (<keyword id="14666" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="BJP">BJP</keyword>) couldn’t have asked for a better time than now to take their massive election campaign in <keyword id="6357713" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Uttar-Pradesh">Uttar Pradesh</keyword> forward and Modi used it to the fullest. He slammed the entire opposition, including state parties, and said growth and development stalled in the state because the BJP was out of power for 14 years. 
 He hit out at the ruling <keyword id="6354265" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="samajwadi-party">Samajwadi Party</keyword> (SP), which split yesterday, and <keyword id="6356515" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bahujan-Samaj-Party">Bahujan Samaj Party</keyword> (<keyword id="6355170" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="BSP">BSP</keyword>), which is grappling with black money allegations, and the Congress which has been having trouble regaining its lost glory in Uttar Pradesh. 
 
"There is one party with minimal presence in UP, that is trying for 15 years to establish their leader but with little success. There is another party trying to save money and there is one more party trying to save their own family," the PM said at what the BJP has dubbed the 'Parivartan Rally' or the rally for change. 
 
He also made a point that he made sure that his party wants to work for the people and not hoard black money or save their family. 
 
“Some want to save their black money, some want to save their 'parivaar'. But BJP is the only party that will work to save the people,” he said. 
 
He also said that all the parties, for the first time has come together against him as they are intimidated by what he is doing and it will harm them. 
 
“For the first time in years, SP and BSP share the same opinion on one issue: 'Modi hatao'. But I say 'corruption hatao, kaala dhan hatao'. Now, it's up to the people to decide what they want,” PM modi said. 
 
The first party he referred to was the Congress, which has seen its political fortunes wane compared to its glory days in Uttar Pradesh in the 1970s and the 1980s. 
 The second party he referred to was Mayawati's BSP which has not been able to shake off the taint of corruption allegations. The third party he was referring to was the Samajwadi Party, which split yesterday following months of bickering between father <keyword id="6357168" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mulayam-Singh-Yadav">Mulayam Singh Yadav</keyword> and his chief minister son Akhilesh. 
 
The PM also said that even though the BJP has not been in power in Uttar Pradesh, that doesn't bother him and his party but the fact that there has been minimal development in UP. 
 
“Kuch log kehte hain BJP ka 14 saal ka vanvaas khatam hoga, mudda BJP ke vanvaas ka nahin hai. Mudda 14 saal ke vanvaas ka nahin, 14 saal ke liye Uttar Pradesh mein vikaas ka vanvaas ho gaya hai,” he said. 
 
India, he said, can't prosper and grow unless Uttar Pradesh prospers and grows. 
 
The PM also predicted a win for the BJP in the upcoming elections in Uttar Pradesh. 
 
“Political pundits pontificate on the outcome of the UP elections. But after seeing this crowd gathered here, there's no need for them to expend further efforts. It is clear which way the wind is blowing,” PM said.

In his 88-minute address, the Prime Minister made a pointed reference to the way the Olympics have impacted thinking within the country. "It is a major turning point for our country," he said. "In this decade we have to speed up the drive to bring talent, technology and professionalism into sports in the country." Drawing the nation's attention to the Olympians present in the audience, the Prime Minister said, "The athletes who have made us proud at the Tokyo Olympics are here among us today. I urge the nation to applaud their achievement today. They have not only won our hearts but also inspired future generations." He also highlighted the achievements of Indian women athletes when he announced that Sainik Schools, for the first time in their history, will be opened up for girls. "It is a matter of pride that India's daughters are performing splendidly, be it in Board exams or the Olympics," the PM declared. Emphasising the importance of sports in the school curriculum, he said: "There was a time when sports were not considered to be a part of the mainstream. Parents used to say to children that they would spoil their life if they kept playing. But today, awareness about the importance of sports and fitness is widespread all over the country. We have experienced it in the Olympics this time." As many as 240 Olympians, including gold medallist Neeraj Chopra and silver medallist Mirabai Chanu, the men's and women's hockey teams, their support staff, and officials of the Sports Authority of India were present to listen to the Prime MInister. On his way out of the Red Fort, the Prime Minister's cavalcade stopped at the enclosure reserved for the Olympians and he walked around waving at them.
