In the trailer, the Prime Minister humbles the audience with a rare moment of introspection, admitting, “Mistakes are inevitable. I too must have made mistakes. I am a human being, not a god.” His candid remark reflects a down-to-earth and relatable side of the leader that resonates with many.
The conversation also touched on Modi’s first and second terms as Prime Minister. Modi explained that in his first term, both the public and he were trying to understand each other, a candid reflection on the political learning curve.
In the trailer, Modi also addressed India’s position on global conflicts, emphasizing the country’s commitment to peace. “During this crisis, we have repeatedly stated that we are not neutral. I say it again and again, I am on the side of peace,” he said.
Kamath also asked Modi for advice for young people aspiring to enter politics. The Prime Minister stressed the importance of motivation and mission over ambition, saying, “Good people should become politicians, and they should come with a mission, not just ambition.”
Although the full episode’s release date is not yet revealed, the trailer has already sparked widespread interest and excitement. PM Modi shared the teaser on X (formerly Twitter), hoping listeners would enjoy the candid conversation as much as they did creating it. This debut podcast marks a new phase in bridging digital media with the Indian political narrative, offering a fresh perspective into the mind of one of the world’s most powerful leaders.
