Ambika, a resident of Basappana Doddi in Chamarajanagar district’s Hanur taluk, who had taken a loan under Government of India’s Mudra scheme to set up a tailoring unit, was stumped when Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked her if she can stitch his kurta.
“Will you stitch my kurta?” a smiling Mr. Modi asked on a lighter note after hearing out Ms. Ambika during an interaction he had with beneficiaries of various central government schemes in Mysuru on Monday. Ms. Ambika, who was caught off-guard, quickly gathered herself and said she would be thrilled to stitch the Prime Minister’s kurta.
Ms. Ambika, who studied up to II PU, set up the tailoring unit along with her husband in the village. Not anticipating Mr. Modi to be informal during the interaction, she remarked that she will not forget the day when she came face to face with the country’s Prime Minister.
