On his second coming, PM will have to answer the people

PM Modi is slated to visit the state on February 25. This is the second time he is visiting the state after becoming the prime minister. The first was not long after he took office in 2014. At that time, with the wave of “change” in the post general election still yet to settle down , PM Modi’s first visit brought freshness as people in Manipur were curious , sort of mixed feelings, as to what will it be like to have the popular prime minister in the state. Though in-visible there are reservation, bit of nervousness in ‘opening up’ to the new face in a state like Manipur, with all its numerous chronic problems and crisis. Can the new PM bring any “change” in this trouble-torn state? Can there /will there be a Modi wave? But all is well, as the witty PM made instant connections with officials and the masses at large.

He was a boy from a bania family in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly district. She was a businessman’s daughter who grew up in Delhi. Both worked at a market research firm in Delhi. He collected data from the field, she analysed them. From colleagues, they became friends. He would even visit her home. But even when they realised that they were in love, the two decided to remain just friends because he was a Hindu and she a Muslim. “We knew our families would never agree to the relationship. Nothing like this had happened in either of our families,” said Rajeev. “My brother wanted to get married to a Hindu girl but my family had prevailed over him to change his decision,” Kashifa said.
