How Prime Minister Narendra Modi Celebrate Navratri? (प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी, नवरात्रि कैसे मनाते हैं?)

A question of ABP News: You’ve mentioned about the night, Navaratri is about to begin. There are a lot of rallies. Will you keep the fast this time as well?
Narendra Modi’s Reply: I have been doing this for 40-45 years, so I endeavour to keep it running. It is difficult but this Navratri isn’t as difficult as it is in September-October. It is a bit simpler but the heat is too much but I’ll manage it.
ABP News Question: Don’t you eat anything in Navratri? Do you fast?
Narendra Modi’s Answer: No.

A question of ABP News: So how are you saying that you have less fatigue in it? Is there more difficult penance in it? Is it less in this fast?
Narendra Modi’s Answer: It’s like that Navratri which falls in September-October, my time goes into personal practices. I don’t have to spend that much time in this because my time table is slightly different. In that, I only take water and do not take anything else. There is no such thing like that. Let’s assume that I will decide to have papaya in this Navratri, except papaya I do not touch anything else. So I decide on such a thing and follow it.

A question of ABP News: So have you decided this time?
Narendra Modi's answer: I will do that, it is not the subject of the public.
