Amidst political tensions, Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended BJP National President Nitin Nabin for his simplicity and moral character. Nabin’s college friend, a journalist, highlighted his modest upbringing and commitment to staying grounded despite his political background. PM Modi expressed pride in Nabin’s straightforwardness, as shared in the journalist’s post.
The journalist recounted Nabin’s student days in Delhi in 1998, emphasizing his frugal lifestyle and avoidance of special treatment due to his father’s political position. Nabin and the journalist, both newcomers to Delhi for higher studies, shared a room, economized on meals, used public transport, and managed expenses diligently.
Nabin’s disciplined approach included a strict monthly budget of Rs 2,000 for rent, food, and college costs during their stay in Delhi. The group of friends, including Nabin, shared household duties and maintained a modest living standard. Despite his political lineage, Nabin was described as unassuming and down-to-earth by the journalist.
The Prime Minister’s praise for Nabin coincided with escalating political clashes between BJP and AAP over donation allegations. Nabin’s recent remarks at a BJP event in Lucknow sparked heated exchanges with opposition leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal and Rekha Gupta. The political discourse intensified with Gupta defending Nabin’s credentials and criticizing Kejriwal’s response to the BJP President.
