PM Modi Slept on the Floor, Ate Peanuts- ML Mittal Recalls Monk-Like Simplicity in New York
Industrialist ML Mittal recalled rarely-heard story from over two decades ago, when a young Narendra Modi, then not even in government, stayed at his New York apartment during an international conference on poverty eradication. Refusing luxury and air-conditioning, Modi chose to sleep in a utility room used for ironing clothes and lived on fruits, jaggery, and peanuts. He fasted twice a week, used no fan, and never stayed in hotels. Even when serving as BJP’s General Secretary in Delhi, he lived in servant quarters, fetched water himself, and rode in dilapidated cars. With just $25 a day for foreign travel, Modi would save and return the rest to the party. Mittal says Modi’s unwavering discipline, humility, and service-first spirit were unmatched, and these qualities, not power, defined his rise.
