Prime Minister Modi extensively traversed the state and connected with "numerous party workers."
Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has revealed a heartfelt narrative about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's modesty and deep appreciation for BJP party members.
As Prime Minister Modi marks his 75th birthday on September 17, Mr. Chouhan reminisced about the PM's frequent visits to Madhya Pradesh during his time serving as the Bharatiya Janata Party's National General Secretary.

Mr. Chouhan shared a particular incident that profoundly impacted him. Once, PM Modi inquired about Lakshmi Narayan Gupta, a senior BJP leader and former minister in Madhya Pradesh. Chouhan informed him that Mr. Gupta was elderly and approaching 100 years of age. Later, when the Prime Minister visited Bhopal for an event, Chouhan suggested that he meet with Mr. Gupta. "He immediately agreed," the Union Minister wrote.
Mr. Chouhan described how the meeting transformed into an emotional moment. "As soon as Modi ji arrived, he first bent down and touched Gupta ji's feet," he recounted.
This gesture, Chouhan added, astonished many observers. "Here was the Prime Minister of India, attending an important event, yet showing such respect to a senior party worker. It clearly reflected how highly Modi ji values those who have contributed to the party's growth," he emphasized.
During their brief conversation, PM Modi noticed Mr. Gupta's hearing difficulty. Chouhan noted that the Prime Minister "patiently listened" and raised his voice to ensure the elderly leader could follow their discussion.
A few days following this meeting, Lakshmi Narayan Gupta passed away. Mr. Chouhan reflected, "It felt as though he had been waiting for that one last meeting with Modi ji." The Union Agriculture Minister added that this episode left a "lasting impression" on him, highlighting PM Modi's profound respect for those who helped build the BJP.
