No VIP, only EPI (Every Person is Important) in New India

Published By : Admin | March 18, 2019 | 16:41 IST

Ever since taking over as Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has emphasised on ending the VIP culture, which has plagued the nation for decades. Through his powerful words and actions, he has shown that all citizens are equal and that there is no room for any differentiation in the country.

PM Modi said that in the New India, it is EPI (Every Person is Important) and not VIP that is the guiding principle.

He elaborated on this during the 50th Raising Day programme of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) on 10th March 2019 in Ghaziabad.

A candid PM Modi recalled an incident from the days when he worked with the BJP Organisation and how he cooled down the temper of a party colleague who was checked by the CISF personnel at an airport.

He complimented the CISF personnel and said that despite any pressure, they should do their duty and protect the nation.

PM Modi also said that it is the political leaders who are the biggest hindrances to the CISF personnel doing their duty.

This part of the speech drew a rapturous applause from the audience.

Cricket legend K. Srikkanth reveals what makes PM Modi a true leader!
March 26, 2025

Former Indian cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth shares his heartfelt admiration for PM Modi, recounting moments that reflect the PM’s humility, warmth and unwavering ability to inspire.

Reminiscing his meeting with PM Modi, Srikkanth says, “Greatest thing about PM Modi is… when you go talk to him and meet him, you feel so comfortable, you don’t feel overpowered that he is the Prime Minister. He will be very casual and if you want to discuss anything and have any thoughts, he will make you feel very very comfortable, so you won’t feel scared.”

The cricket legend recalls how he once sent a text message addressed to the PM to his Secretary congratulating PM Modi for victories in 2019 and 2024 Lok Sabha elections and was taken aback when he received a personal reply from the PM himself!

“The biggest quality PM Modi has is his ability to talk to you, make you feel comfortable and make you feel important,” Srikkanth adds recalling a programme he had attended in Chennai. He notes how Shri Modi, even as a Prime Ministerial candidate in 2014, remained approachable and humble. He fondly recalls the event where the PM personally called him on stage. “I was standing in the crowd and suddenly, he called me up. The entire auditorium was clapping. That is the greatness of this man,” he shares.

PM Modi’s passion for cricket is another aspect that deeply resonates with Srikkanth. Reminiscing a memorable instance, he shares how PM Modi watched an entire match in Ahmedabad with great enthusiasm like a true cricket aficionado.

Even in challenging moments, PM Modi’s leadership shines through. Srikkanth highlights how after Team India lost the World Cup in November 2023, PM Modi personally visited the Indian dressing room to boost the team’s morale. “PM Modi went and spoke to each and every cricketer and spoke to them personally. That matters a lot as a cricketer after losing the final. Words of encouragement from the Prime Minister has probably boosted India to win the Champions Trophy and the T20 World Cup,” he says.

Beyond cricket, the former Indian cricketer is in awe of PM Modi’s incredible energy and fitness, attributing it to his disciplined routine of yoga and meditation. “Because PM Modi is physically very fit, he is mentally very sharp. Despite his hectic international schedule, he always looks fresh,” he adds.

For Krishnamachari Srikkanth, PM Modi is more than just a leader he is an inspiration. His words and actions continue to uplift India’s sporting spirit, leaving an indelible impact on athletes and citizens alike.
