Scorching heat failed to deter the spirit of youths from the Steel City who had gathered to listen to their favourite leader Narendra Modi. Though the number of women was lesser than men, however some young girls and boys as the first time voters convinced their parents so that they could attend the NaMo rally.
"We were first not allowed by parents because of the crowd but then we were able to impress my father so that he can come with us. We are crazy Modi fans," said Ritika Jha a student of RVS Engineering College.
Youths not only cheered but also displayed their fashion statement. While everybody preferred to wear normal clothes. There were youths flaunting their Modi T-shirts and tattoos. "We used to hear him on television, why would we miss when he is here in the city. He is our national leader and we are proud of him,” Rajesh Sengupta a student of Karim City College.
While many crazy fans of Modi were eager to make their places safe inside Gopal Maidan, some preferred to stay outside as food packets, water bottles and umbrellas were not allowed.
“We are feeling the heat but are happy to hear him live. He is a youth icon.. We want to see a prime minister who will generate employment and will not keep mum on national security issues,” said another student.
