Gandhinagar, Sept 5: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday interacted with students along with state Governor Kamla Beniwal on the occasion of Teacher's Day. The students, however, were more interested in Modi's prime ministerial candidate rather than his not-so-friendly relation with the governor.

When a Class X boy asked whether Modi would return to address students as the prime minister in the future, the latter said that one shouldn't dream about becoming something but doing something. He said he would continue to serve the people of Gujarat till 2017 since he has been given a mandate for five years. Modi won his third successive mandate as the chief minister in December last year.

On Garibi Hatao

When asked about Garibi Hatao (remove poverty), Modi said education is the best way to fight poverty.

About worshipping

When a girl from Patan asked Modi about the deity he worships, the latter said the vast number of deities signified India's uniqueness and diversity. He said a man will worship the god as per his own identity, like a wrestler will worship Lord Hanuman while a money-minded person will worship Goddess Laksmi. About himself, Modi said he worships Shakti during Navratri.

Village or city?

A girl asked the CM whether he liked to stay in a village or a city. To this, Modi said: "If a boy comes first then they say- yes someone came first but in a village if that happens they say- oh, this person's son came 1st!" He said the India's real spirit lied in its villages.
