Kaithal: Rampal Kashyap from Kaithal, who had vowed 14 years ago to not wear footwear until Narendra Modi takes over as PM, shared his emotional experience and expressed happiness after meeting PM.
During the meeting, PM Modi gifted a new pair of shoes to Kashyap and also helped him put them on.
Sharing his experience with ANI Kashyap said, "I got a call that I have to come to PM Modi's programme in Yamunanagar. The Prime Minister made me wear shoes, I felt good. I work as a labourer."
During the brief conversation, PM Modi told him not to make such a vow again. "Aaj hum tumko joota pehna rahe hai par baad mai aaisa kuch karna nhi, kahbhi nahi. (I am making you wear shoes, but do not do it again). You should work, why you have done such a thing, giving yourself pain," PM Modi said.
PM Modi also referred to meeting Kashyap in a post on X and said that while he accepts such affection, focus should be on working on matters linked to social work and nation-building.
"At today's public meeting in Yamunanagar, I met Shri Rampal Kashyap Ji from Kaithal. He had taken a vow 14 years ago, that he will only wear footwear after I became PM and he got to meet me. I am humbled by people like Rampal Ji and also accept their affection but I want to request everyone who takes up such vows - I cherish your love...please focus on something that is linked to social work and nation building!" PM Modi said in a post on X.
The post also had a video of the meeting.
