Modi gets emotional at FB tete-a-tete

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday became emotional during a Town- hall interaction with Face- book CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

It all started with Facebook boss mentioning that his parents were present at the event and asked the PM what makes him love his mother the most. PM Modi said,

"My parents played a very big role in my life, I come from a poor family, you probably know that I used to sell tea at railway station.

You can imagine what a mother had to do to raise her children. It's not just the case with me, many mothers in India sacrifice their entire lives for their children.

When we were young, we used to do much to just get by. We used to do the neighbour's dishes, labour work. A mother will never want you to become something, she will think about how you will achieve that."

PM Modi also said, "My dream is to make India a 20 trillion economy, I need to focus on agricultural, service and manufacturing sector to achieve that.

It's amazing how perception about India has changed in a very short period of time, we've brought in a new level of confidence. "
