Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said during a public gathering in Netrang, Gujarat, that he was late because he was meeting two orphan boys whose lives had been improved by his government's efforts.

During his speech, he mentioned two brothers, Avi and Jay, who had lost their parents. They both worked as labourers for a living and also are studying on their own.

"I was two minutes late here because I wanted to meet two tribal children," PM Modi explained. "Avi is one, and Jay is the other. Avi is in the ninth grade, while Jay is in the sixth. They both come from a tribal family. The parents of these two children died of illness six years ago. One was eight years old, and the other was two. Both would live by cooking their own food and doing everything themselves. I saw their video and told CR Patil that something needed to be done. I was in Delhi at the time. But they were able to find a home. Computer, TV, and all amenities. Today, one said he wants to be a collector, and the other said he wants to be an engineer," PM Modi said.

PM met and spoke with both tribal children after witnessing their bravery. When asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, they stated that they wanted to study more and become engineers.

After witnessing their determination, the Prime Minister accepted the task of training them and delegated responsibility to the party's state president, CR Patil. Both now have a roof over their heads and have also been educated.

According to the prime minister, these boys aim to be collectors and engineers. In interaction with the media, the children expressed their delight at seeing the Prime Minister. 

Gujarat Assembly elections will be held in two stages on December 1 and 5, with results expected on December 8, which coincides with the Himachal Pradesh elections.

The BJP has ruled the state for the past 27 years, with Modi serving as its longest-serving chief minister.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and CR Patil, the party is hoping for more than 140 seats this time.
