PM Narendra Modi visits the United States of America from September 21-23, Gokul Kunnath, an NRI from Atlanta, recalled Modi’s fascination with technology which he saw during his 1997 visit.
Kunnath, who was hosting Modi, recounted how he had asked Modi if there was anything he wanted from the US. Modi’s response was simple yet revealing: he asked for a microcomputer. “This device could store 3,000-4,000 names, phone numbers, and addresses. Even then, Modi was focused on how technology could help him organise and advance his work within the BJP,” Kunnath said.
