Modi Recalls Surprise Journalist Visit Revealing His Appointment as Gujarat CM

He said, "Very few people knew about it at that time. Only two-four senior party leaders knew about it. I used to spend most of my time here at 11 Ashoka Road. One day a whole group of journalists came to my room. Usually journalists don't do this to me, but that day they went straight into the room." The PM said, "There was a group of women journalists among them, who had a lot of influence. They told me,'You will have to feed us sweets." I asked,'Kis baat ki khushi mein? Why should I distribute sweets? "They replied,'You are going to Gujarat. You are going to be the Chief Minister." I told them that I had no idea about it. But they stuck to their word. They said,'We all know. You are lying. "" He said, "Very few people actually knew about this decision, but this whole group of journalists somehow felt like it. It was very difficult for me to answer their questions. It was my pleasure to answer them at that time.
