A group of Indians hailing from the state of Gujarat and now living in China, have innovated and are manufacturing a phone dedicated to <keyword id="64897" type="POSITION" weightage="40" keywordseo="Gujarat-chief-minister">Gujarat Chief Minister</keyword> and now <keyword id="14666" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="BJP">BJP</keyword>’s prime ministerial candidate <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword>. Called the Smart NAMO Saffron 272+, this <keyword id="6354485" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="mobile">mobile</keyword> phone has a 5 inch touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 2, 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and a 13 MP camera. It runs on the <keyword id="6355645" type="COMPANY" weightage="40" keywordseo="android">Android</keyword> platform 4.2.1 (according to their <keyword id="6354576" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Facebook">Facebook</keyword> page) and is going to have 16 or 32 GB on-board storage. The phones will come in boxes with tri-colours on them and will be available all over the country. 
 
We have already seen some NAMO merchandise, such as T-shirts and coffee mugs with Narendra Modi’s picture on them. But a phone named after the current Gujarat CM, takes the game to the next level. This just shows that gadgets will be a huge part of the upcoming 2014 election affair in India. But how many parties will pick it up, is yet to be seen. At the moment, this phone seems to be the only tech innovation labelled with a political figure. The phone will retail for Rs 16,000 and we have a hunch it will come with Narendra Modi’s wallpaper and a few NAMO apps as well.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi leaves for the US

September 17 was an auspicious day in India. Not only was it <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/GodSaveTheOcean-This-Ganesh-Chaturthi-Mumbai-NGO-makes-idols-that-fish-can-eat/articleshow/48786857.cms">Ganesh Chaturthi</a>, but it also happened to be the birthday of India’s beloved Prime Minister, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Educate-In-India-Narendra-Modis-new-pet-project/articleshow/47456640.cms">Narendra Modi</a>. So, as is tradition, one would have expected not only his party (<keyword id="14666" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="BJP">BJP</keyword>), but the entire country to shower extravagant blessings on its favourite son. But, hold your horses, because Modi had a diktat for how not to celebrate his birthday, a diktat that was supposed to have been followed to the ‘T’. 
 
The message was clear- the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=BJP">BJP</a> top management was not to make Modi’s birthday a national event. After all, it is for dynastic parties like the <keyword id="1575" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Congress">Congress</keyword> to put up posters in every street corner wishing their “young” Vice-President a happy one! For once, perhaps, Modi-fans and sycophants, agreed. Some people might say, “Thank God for small mercies”, maybe this dissuaded <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/topic/Mallika-Sherawat">Mallika Sherawat</a> from reprising her Marilyn Monroe-act and singing “Happy Birthday, Prime Minister”. 
 
But such diktats do little to subdue the indomitable spirit of the young and enterprising. A company that promotes hygienic sanitation in India and builds toilets printed birthday cards to mark the Prime Minister’s birthday with a call for “janm-divas samaroh” (a birthday get-together). A young and very enterprising minister; who has been in the eye of storm recently, for his politically incorrect statements; was the chief guest of this get together and unveiled a 365 kg jumbo ‘laddu’ to mark the special day. But this Minister of State with Independent Charge of a couple of ministries was quick to dub the event as a conference to mark the organizer’s achievements in the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=SWACHH+BHARAT">Swachh Bharat</a> Mission; a programme close to the birthday boy’s heart. 
 Another event, another young minister but the same date: September 17. This young and dynamic Minister of State decided to mark the PM’s birthday by calling it “an auspicious day”. Though he was quick to add that it was Ganesh Chaturthi as well as Vishwakarma puja that were being celebrated on the same day. But the minister wanted to make sure that his birthday wish was conveyed to the right man, so he decided to make the auspicious day remark again, the moment he saw his boss, the Cabinet Minister walk into the conference. After all, his boss is known to enjoy <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword>’s confidence and have his ear. But seasoned politician that his boss is, he chose not to acknowledge the birthday remark of his junior minister. 
 
Maybe one should follow the First Citizen of India’s example and just take to Twitter for birthday wishes.

I’m An Outsider To Delhi And To Politics As Well, Narendra Modi Says (Full Text Of Modi Interview)

In a first for the country, a sitting Prime Minister- in this case,<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=narendra+modi&amp;sortorder=effectivedate"> Narendra Modi </a>was giving an hour long one-on-one interview to an Indian journalist working at a private news channel. 
 
And, when that journalist turns out to be one other than fiery <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=arnab+goswami&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Arnab Goswami</a>, the self-appointed voice of the nation, things are bound to get interesting. 
 But, unfortunately the interview didn’t quite have the fireworks that we were expecting and instead showed us something that we never thought was possible- a tame <keyword id="563971" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Arnab-Goswami">Arnab Goswami</keyword>. 
 
There’s a running joke on the internet that basically implies that Arnab Goswami actually let Modi’s answers decide his questions. While we can’t vouch for that, we can certainly say that there was a stark difference in the Goswami we are used to seeing every night at 9 pm. (Where did the yelling go? Who knew Goswami could talk?) 
 
On Modi’s part, there was much that he said that we hadn’t already heard before, but our Prime Minister was indeed candid about certain issues. 
 Here are the five most important things we learnt from <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword>’s interview: 
 
1. Our Prime Minister loves <keyword id="6358908" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Raghuram-Rajan">Raghuram Rajan</keyword> as much as we do 
 
 
 
RBI Governor <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=RAGHURAM+RAJAN&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Raghuram Rajan</a> courted controversy when he announced that he would not be continuing as the RBI Governor for the second term. <keyword id="14666" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="BJP">BJP</keyword> Leader <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=SUBRAMANIAN+SWAMY&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Subramanian Swamy</a>, who in the past had sought Rajan’s resignation and even wrote to the Prime Minister regarding the same, even took credit for Rajan’s exit. 
 
What Indians were curious to know was PM Modi’s view on the matter, considering Swamy is from his own party. And, finally yesterday we had the answer- 
 
“I believe Raghuram Rajan’s patriotism is no less than any of ours. It will be doing injustice to him if one says that he will serve the country only if he is at a particular post. As much as I know Raghuram Rajan, whatever post he holds, wherever he is, he is someone who will continue to serve the country. He is someone who loves his country. Therefore, it's not like the nation won't get Raghuram Rajan's services, Raghuram Rajan is not that kind of a person. He is a person who loves the country. Those who speak such language are doing great injustice to him. My experience with him has been good. I appreciate the work he has done. And my good wishes will always be with him.” 
 
2. Modi also indirectly asked Subramanian Swamy from a public forum to shut it. 
 
 
 To say that <keyword id="3449506" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="subramian-swamy">Subramian Swamy</keyword> is controversy’s favourite child would be a gross understatement. But, Modi made it known on live television that he is not in favour of such behaviour. 
 
"Whether it is someone from my party or not, I believe that such things (criticism of government officials) are inappropriate. The nation won't benefit from such publicity stunts. One should be more responsible while conducting themselves. Anyone who believes he is bigger than the system is wrong," 
 
3. Black money? What black money? 
 
 
 
When Narendra Modi was elected as Prime Minister, he had basically announced that he would personally see to it that all the black money stashed away in foreign accounts would make their way back to India. 
 
But, one year later, Modi’s forgotten his promise to the nation and instead treated it as laughing matter. 
 
When Goswami asked him about the opposition’s claim that every Indian could get Rs 15 lakh in their bank account, this is what Modi had to say- 
 
"That is something the opposition raises during elections. Let them have some issue to talk about." 
 
4. Why does Narendra Modi fly out of the country so much? 
 
 
 
And, finally the answer we’ve all waited for answered by Narendra Modi, in (to everyone’s surprise) third person 
 
"The world didn't know me. The world wants to know who the head of the state is. If someone would want to know Modi through the eyes of the media, then he would be disillusioned on which Modi is the real Modi. If this happens, the country will be at a loss. Modi's personality shouldn't be a hindrance for the world to have faith in India. But for that unless I meet all those leaders and engage them them one to one, unless I speak to them frankly, they wouldn't know about India's head of state, so it was very important for me as I am not from a political family. I never had the opportunity to meet the world leaders earlier." 
 
5. Even Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India is scared of making jokes. 
 
 
 
When Arnab Goswami tried asking the PM whether his US speech was impromptu or not, Modi without answering a clear Yes or No added that he has a humorous side but feels that it is risky to show that side these days. 
 
On being prodded, this is what he said- 
 
“In this era of 24/7 news channels, anybody can lift a small word and make a big issue out of it. But I will tell you the truth, the reason for the absence of humour in public life is this fear. I am myself scared . Earlier when I used to make speeches, I would make it so humourous but there would never be any issues.” 
 
So has our Prime Minister become more conscious now? 
 
“I am not conscious. I am in fear, there is no humour left in public life because of this fear. Everyone is scared. I am in fear. My speeches used be humorous. I see it in Parliament, that humour is finished there too. It is a matter of concern.”
