INDIAN prime minister loves interacting with people and even with children. On numerous occasions, the 71-year-old leader has been found enjoying speaking to youngsters and even kids.

The world remained witness to another such encounter on Wednesday (27), when an eight-year-old girl, the daughter of a parliamentarian of Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from the state of Madhya Pradesh visited the Indian parliament, which is currently in session, with his father and family.

Ahana Firojiya, daughter of member of parliamentarian Anil Firojiya, came face to face with the prime minister who was delighted to meet her. He asked her whether she knew who he was and the conversation that followed thereafter amused the prime minister.

“Yes, you are Modi ji. Aap TV par roz aatein hain (you are seen on TV every day),” the child replied to Modi’s question.

He then asked her whether she knew what he does. To that, she said, “You work in Lok Sabha (you work in the Lok Sabha).”

The prime minister, who is a member of the Lok Sabha or the Lower House of the Indian parliament and represents the constituency of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, could not stop laughing hearing this and those present on the occasion also erupted in laughter.

Modi then gave Ahana a chocolate.

Firozia, who represents Ujjain, is known for drastically shedding weight after he came into contact with India’s road transport minister Nitin Gadkari. The latter had given him an incentive of Rs 1,000 crore (£103.5 million) for each kilogram he shed and the parliamentarian ended up losing 21 kilograms, earning Rs 21,000 crore (£2.1 billion) for his constituency!

Modi also spoke about Firojiya’s weight loss on Wednesday and advised him to lose a little more to be completely fit.

Firojiya tweeted about his family’s meeting with Modi in Hindi and called it an unforgettable day.
