In an exclusive interview to News Nation, PM Modi said, "Narendra Modi’s 45 years of public life has gone through a ‘tapasya’. No newspaper wala or TV wala has created Modi. Those who are born on pages of newspapers, they have a very limited life. Those who are born on TV screens, they have also their presence restricted to TV." PM added, "But a person who has gone through 'tapasya', that person has an unlimited life. So, no matter how much anybody tries, if media had created Modi, media would have destroyed Modi."
