Recalling the bond between PM Modi and the late Ram Vilas Paswan, his son and LJP leader Chirag Paswan says, "Their relationship was very special. Prime Minister Narendra Modi always gave my father love, respect, and honor. He now extends the same affection to me."
Chirag Paswan recalls that when his father, former Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, was hospitalised due to severe illness, PM Modi made it a point to enquire about his condition twice a day. "During that time, PM Modi took care of me and my family like an elder member of the family. Imagine the Prime Minister of India calling you twice daily, not only with full updates on my father's health but also after seeking second opinions from doctors across the country. His call would come daily around 8:30 AM!"
The LJP leader also highlights PM Modi's high priority given to requests from alliance partners regarding projects in their constituencies. One such instance is when Chirag Paswan requested a Kendriya Vidyalaya in his constituency, Jamui in Bihar. "The state government had refused to allocate land. Hence I raised the issue with PM Modi, who immediately directed then HRD Minister Smriti Irani to initiate it. Despite the state government's lack of support, PM Modi ensured the Kendriya Vidyalay

Legendary singer Asha Bhosle reminisces about the warmth and intimacy she shared with Narendra Modi for several years, dating back to his time as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. She fondly recounts numerous heartfelt anecdotes about her interactions with him.
Recalling their first meeting, Asha Bhosle remembers when Modi, then the Chief Minister of Gujarat, greeted her on stage during a function in Mumbai with the words, 'Didi, how are you?'
"His affectionate and respectful address as 'sister' made me feel as though he were my younger brother." In return, Bhosle sang a Gujarati song for Modi, which brought immense joy to him. "As he departed, he once again respectfully folded his hands and said, 'Didi, I am leaving. Will see you later'."
Bhosle recalls their subsequent meeting in Pune, along with her family. "My grandson, who was ten years old at the time, exclaimed 'Landslide victory!' upon seeing Narendra Modi. In response, Modi remarked, 'God speaks through the mouths of children.' It was a wonderful encounter," reminisces Asha Bhosle.
"Almost 10 years later, at another event, my granddaughter was seated near Modi. She asked if he remembered her. Modi instantly replied, 'Once I meet someone, I never forget them,' and inquired about her brother. My granddaughter was utterly surprised, exclaiming how such a busy person could remember a small boy whom he had met once, almost a decade earlier," recalls the singer.
Bhosle shares that she has kept in touch with Modi since their first meeting, occasionally calling to check on his well-being. "He always responds with a hearty laugh - 'Majama che!' (I'm fine

Narendra Modi's personal bonds and respect for others always transcend political boundaries. Such was his relationship with former senior Congress leader late Murli Deora, as recalled by his son and political leader Milind Deora.
Recalling his first meeting with Narendra Modi during his tenure as Gujarat Chief Minister, Deora was surprised by the personal connect and ground knowledge Modi had. It was during the funeral of late Pramod Mahajan that Deora met Modi on the stage, seated in front of him. "Narendra Modi ji was seated just in front of me, and I greeted him. He turned back and asked, 'Milind bhai, how are you?' I was surprised because I was very new to politics and was just 27 years old; very few recognized me. He has his ear to the ground and knows everyone."
Deora says Modi rises above party politics and give respect to all. One such occasion was during the Howdy Modi event in Houston. "PM Modi tweeted acknowledging the contributions of my father late Murli Deora for fostering Indo-US relations. Modi said, 'My friend Murli Deora would be really happy today.' This gesture made everyone including my family and party workers very proud."
Narendra Modi is a leader who rises above political interests, giving priority to national interest and humanity, says Milind Deora.

Owing to his empathetic and sensitive nature, despite of his demanding schedule, PM Modi stays connected to those he knows and remains informed about their personal problems.
Renowned singer Anuradha Paudwal shares her personal experience, recounting the brotherly concern she received from Narendra Modi. Paudwal remembers meeting Narendra Modi shortly after he assumed office as Prime Minister in 2014. "It was a time when I was facing numerous personal and family problems."
Reflecting on the encounter, she recalls, "It was crowded. Yet, when PM Modi saw me, he came over and met me privately. His first question was, 'Have your personal issues been resolved?'"
"I was moved to tears. It felt like my elder brother was inquiring about my well-being. I was amazed that despite his hectic schedule, he was keeping track of my personal issues. It takes a man of pure heart to be that sensitive."
Despite his position, Modi remains accessible and understanding, embodying the qualities of a leader who genuinely cares for his people, Paudwal affirms.

Many recognize that a significant aspect of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership is inclusivity, ensuring that everyone is taken along, with equal respect. And a significant section who have experienced this are the leaders of NDA alliance parties.
Jitan Ram Manjhi is one among them. He was previously part of the NDA but later exited the alliance. Recently, he rejoined the coalition.
Manjhi recounts his initial concerns upon rejoining the NDA, fearing he might not receive due consideration due to his past departure. "I feared whether I will have to face neglect in NDA. But, to my surprise, PM Modi gave me more respect and love than before," he revealed.
Recalling his meeting with the Prime Minister, Manjhi expressed his astonishment at PM Modi's graciousness. "During the meeting, the first thing he said to me was - 'We learn a lot from you.' His words ignited a newfound confidence in me," the former Bihar CM shared.
A notable moment occurred during the meeting of NDA leaders, where Manjhi found himself prominently positioned. "The seating arrangement placed me next to the Prime Minister on the left, with Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde seated on the right," Manjhi observed, recognizing the significance of this gesture of respect.
Later, Manjhi recalls being among the five individuals chosen

Recalling one of their initial meetings at an event in West Bengal, the veteran actor shares how PM Modi spent 10 exclusive minutes with him. "Soon after the meeting, he called - 'Mithun da, I wish to speak to you for some time'. Those 10 minutes were truly charismatic! Not because he is the Prime Minister, but due to his natural behaviour and responsive nature. The impact is still on me."
Mithun Chakraborty speaks about PM Modi's promptness. "He is quite busy, so it's natural to expect replies after 2-3 days. But I receive responses within 10-15 minutes. Once, I noted on my watch that the longest time he took to reply to my message was just 23 minutes! Another instance, when he was in Germany and in a different time zone, he still replied promptly, saying that we shall discuss tomorrow."
Speaking of Modi's sincerity in personal relations, he says, "PM Modi is someone who never resorts to the common rhetoric of 'Let's see.' I prefer to stay away from such individuals. But Modi always invites, 'Come, let's discuss.'"
Narendra Modi is often regarded as a guardian-like figure by many, including leaders from the opposition.
Former Biju Janata Dal leader and MP, Bharturhari Mahtab, shares a touching account of PM Modi's concern for him during a health crisis.
"He even admonished us for being careless, much like an elder of the family," says Mahtab.
