My Personal Take on Interaction with Hon' Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi ji

I was one of the lucky ones who got invited to MyGov event of Interaction with Hon' Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modiji held on July 1st, 2015 at 7 Race Course Road, New Delhi. The participants included Winners of contests held by MyGov, top contributors of MyGov and selected people from Social Media sphere.

The need to write this blog arose from the usual twisting of facts by Main Stream Media who never ever allow facts to come in the way of their agenda. Slew of articles and programs \have been done on this event while none of them were actually present for the event.

Presenting my personal take of the interaction which I am able to recollect as the event was too overwhelming for common person like me.

1) PM Modiji was extremely appreciative of the work done on MyGov and on Social Media. To quote him (not verbatim)

कुछ लोगों आलोचना को ही अपने जीवन का लक्ष्य मानते हैं । वह समझते हैं के यही उनका कर्त्तव्य और कर्म है |

जिसकी आलोचना हो रही है वह खाना खाके शांति से सो गया है पर जब तक आप लोग सत्य को उजागर नहीं करते, आपको नींद नहीं आती । आप लोगों से मेरा तात्पर्य केवल इस कक्ष में बैठे लोगों से नहीं पर लाखों सोशियल मीडिया के योद्धाओं से है जो यह बिना किसी स्वार्थ के यह काम कर रहे हैं। 

(Some people have made criticism as the sole aim of their life. They think it is their responsibility and duty to criticise.

The person who has been criticised has slept peacefully after having his food. But you people are not able to sleep till you get the truth out. By you I dont mean just the people sitting in this room but also Lakhs of Social Media Warriors who are doing it without any expectation of any favours or returns.

PM Modi profusely thanked everyone (and not just those sitting in the room) for the stellar work done. )

2) Main Stream Media  has promptly reported on advice by PM on "Abuse" on Social  Media (which, in my humble opinion, at the most was just a sideline) but stayed clear on what Hon PM said about Positive News.

PM Modi stressed on the need of positivity. As said by PM and also as discussed with friends online and offline numerous times, positive news are not just making to headlines. We have to sift through reams of negative news just to find One positive News.

PM Modi stressed on need of Positive News. He said as in past, you, Social Media Warriors have forced MSM to change the agenda and narrative, he is sure that same thing will happen again once we start focusing on positive news.

(Call it Telepathy or coincidence but for exactly same purpose Rann Bheri was launched few months ago. )

3) Now coming to Media's Pet Topic "Abuse".

PM Modiji said absue reduces the strength of your argument. Whatever you want to convey in abusive language, same thing can also be conveyed in civil language. 

Nothing More Nothing Less

Friends, This is just the start of new chapter of Interaction with Prime Minister. This is definitely not the last. 

You all know and we have demonstrated umpteen times that when we stand and work together, there is nobody who can defeat us. 

Your Comments and / or Criticism invited.
