Congress Criticizes PM Modi's 'I Am Not a God' Comment in Podcast

Prime Minister Modi's remarks about his humanity and fallibility draw opposition criticism, linking them to earlier claims of divine guidance.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a podcast with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath, stated that he is human, can make mistakes, and is not a God.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh labeled Modi's statement as 'damage control' following an earlier claim of being 'sent by God' and not purely biological.
The earlier remark, made before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, suggested Modi believed his energy and purpose were divinely bestowed after his mother's passing.
During the podcast, Modi reiterated his life mantra of working hard, avoiding self-interest, and ensuring no actions stem from bad intentions.
The podcast marked Modi's first appearance in the format, where he also discussed idealism in politics and the importance of learning from mistakes.
