Yes, I like to dress well, Modi confesses to Rajat Sharma in 'Aap Ki Adalat' on India TV

New Delhi: Narendra Modi is one person who is a tough nut to crack if you want to get him to discuss his personal life, preferences and style statement.But Modi was a completely changed man when he appeared in “Aap Ki Adalat” show of Rajat Sharma on India TV. Breaking his stereotyped image of a serious politician who rarely talked about things that have no connection to politics, Modi spoke at length about his personal preferences including his dressing sense, the secret behind his short-sleeve shirt and his sense of mixing and matching colours that he considers as god-gift. “I left my house when I was very young. I could fit all my belongings in a small bundle. I kept wandering for 40 - 45 years and I spent over 40 years begging for food. I had toWash my own clothes. So I thought my shirt occupied too much effort in washing and space too. I cut the sleeves myself. So my shirt became half sleeved. I have been wearing such clothes for over 25 years. “Yes, I like to dress up well and stay clean. God has gifted me the sense of mixing and matching colors. So I manage everything on my own. Since I'm God gifted I fit well in everything. I have no fashion designer but I'm happy to hear that I dress well,” said Modi,” said Modi.Modi confessed to Rajat Sharma that he does not talk much about his personal life. He also lamented that since people don't know much about him, they level baseless allegations against him that hurts him a lot.“It is true that I don't talk much about my personal life. People of Gujarat know a lot. But Media today is so vibrant that even if something falls off from the pocket they come to know. Then one day I'd come to Delhi and some Congressmen went about saying silly things about me, they even abused me. They said that Modi was an American agent and what not. I was hurt. I had my rally in Rohini (Delhi). I said, do you even know me? “I have spent my childhood selling tea at railway stations and you are throwing such allegations on me? That's how you all got to know about me. Other than that, so many things keep happening; I can't go around telling everything,” remarked Modi Modi turned nostalgic about his childhood days when he used to swim in a nearby pond and pick baby crocodiles.“I was brave, not naughty. There was a pond in my village and I loved to swim in that pond. I even had to wash my clothes there. So one day I picked up a crocodile baby and took it home. Later on I even took it to school and my teachers were very upset,” said Modi.When asked about the time when he left home and went to Himalayas, Modi got emotional and said, “Yes I've left my home on several occasions. I wanted to lead a spiritual life. Like I said I spent some years begging for food for sustenance. Even now I desire that. I was greatly influenced by Swami Vivekananda. I visited Ramakrishna Mission and several other places. I recently visited Swami Atmaghanananda. That was another world which I have loved.”
