Gouranga Biswas, the boatman who rowed the boat carrying Prime Minister Narendra Modi on a ride, found the experience truly fascinating. Biswas expressed his surprise at being chosen for this task, mentioning that he had never expected to row the Prime Minister.
Speaking about the boat ride, Biswas shared that he was taken aback when PM Modi suddenly appeared and interacted with him. Despite the excitement, Biswas mentioned that he did not get the chance to have a lengthy conversation with the Prime Minister due to language barriers.
While Biswas was thrilled to have sailed the boat with the Prime Minister on board, he noted that he could not understand the conversations happening in Hindi among others accompanying PM Modi. The boat ride, which included some time on the Hooghly River, left Biswas with a memorable experience.
Prime Minister Modi later shared a picture of the boat ride on social media, emphasizing the cultural and spiritual significance of the Ganga River for the people of Bengal. He highlighted the deep-rooted connection Bengalis have with the river, considering it integral to their heritage and identity.
