How should a minister be?
- He had not told his mother that he was a railway minister.
- Was told that “I work in railway”.
He once came to an event organised by Railway where his mother also came, asking that my son is also there, he is also on the railway.
People asked what is the name ?? When she told the name, everyone was shocked, “She is lying“.
But she said, “No he has come”.
People took her in front of Lal Bahadur Shastriji and asked, “Is this is your son?
So the mother said, “yes he is my son.”
People showed the minister, “Is she your mother?“
Then Shastri ji called his mother and sat with her and after some time sent her home.
So the reporters asked “Why didn’t you give a speech in front of her“.
So he said –
My mother does not know that I am a minister. If she comes to know, she will start recommending people and I will not be able to refuse… and she will also have arrogance.
Everyone was shocked to hear the answer.”
Where did those selfless, humble and honest people go?
“We will always work on the late Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri ji as our ideal “.
Gone those Politicians , Gone those days…
