“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!”

“हरियाणा के यमुनानगर में आज कैथल के रामपाल कश्यप जी से मिलने का सौभाग्य मिला। इन्होंने 14 वर्ष पहले एक व्रत लिया था कि ‘मोदी जब तक प्रधानमंत्री नहीं बन जाते और मैं उनसे मिल नहीं लेता, तब तक जूते नहीं पहनूंगा।’ मुझे आज उनको जूते पहनाने का अवसर मिला। मैं ऐसे सभी साथियों की भावनाओं का सम्मान करता हूं, परंतु मेरा आग्रह है कि वो इस तरह के प्रण लेने के बजाए किसी सामाजिक अथवा देशहित के कार्य का प्रण लें।”
