MODI fever grips youths of Berhampur and Ganjam in Odisha



The Modi fever is slowly gripping the minds of large sections of youth in the silk city Berhampur and Ganjam district of Odisha as is evident from the sudden appearance of posters under the banner of Narendra Modi Youth Forum with Modi figuring prominently in the posters displayed in several key locations of Gandhinagar (Berhampur), Ganjam and Chhatrapur. It may be noted that about four lakh people from Ganjam District are working in Gujarat, most of whom consider Modi as their most favoured icon. When contacted, president and general secretary of Narendra Modi Youth Forum Dharanidhar Behera, former president of Ganjam Zilla Parishad, and advocate N Rajendra Kumar told this correspondent that they formed this youth platform in March last year to campaign  for Modi’s leadership, which is the only answer to the growing social insecurity, terrorism and plight of farmers in the country. A large number of local youth who believe in the ideology of Modi are keen to join the forum in the coming days, they added. 
Interestingly, appreciation for Modi’s personality, his vision and contribution to development became most visible even in the minds of small children. Satya Prakash Panda (Kaanha), an openhearted and soft-spoken boy of eight years and a student of Standard four at the Delhi Public School (Kalali) at Baroda in Gujarat during his visit to his native place Brahmapur in an informal chat with this reporter wanted to see Modi as Prime Minister. As to why Modi should be the Prime Minister, the boy swiftly recollected the contributions of Modi  in the field of communication in Gujarat and candidly replied that construction of an excellent road linked to the Ellora Park, uninterrupted power supply and a lot of other works impressed him most.
