Don’t misquote my Vivekananda quote tweets for TRPs: Modi to media

Ahmedabad, 19 June 2012

Peeved over reports that quoted his regular Swami Vivekananda quote tweet out of context, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today asked the media not to “misquote” his tweets.

“Evey morning I share an inspiring quote on Swami Vivekananda on his 150th anniversary. I request media friends not to misquote it for TRPs,” Modi said on twitter.

Modi’s statement came in the wake of his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar reportedly saying that NDA’s prime ministerial candidate should have “secular credentials and should be acceptable to all sections of the society”.

Modi tweeted on the social networking site Twitter quoting Swami Vivekananda, “Will is caused by character, and character by Karma. As is Karma, so is the manifestation of the will.”
