After receiving a call from Modi at around 7 AM, State Education Minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama dropped the idea of teaching Modi's life to schools kids.
"Narendrabhai called me this morning and told me that it is not appropriate to include life and events of a living person in the school syllabus. He was not happy with the idea of teaching his life in primary schools. He asked us not to go ahead with that project," Chudasama told reporters.
Modi opposed the decision in a tweet saying, "I firmly believe that the life story of living individuals should not be included as a part of the school curriculum.
"I am reading in the news that some states want to include Narendra Modi's life struggles as a part of their school curriculum," the Prime Minister said.
