Prime Minister - It is like that, I take care of all of you.

Prime Minister - Does everyone have signature ?

Player - Yes, sir.
Prime Minister - Look, Vande Mataram has completed 150 years.
Player - Yes, sir.
Prime Minister - So that's why I wrote Vande Mataram.
Prime Minister - We have heard you sing very well?
Player - Yes, sir. गंगाधरा शंकरा करुणा करा, मामव भवसागर तारका, भो शंभू, शिव शंभू स्वयंभू।
Prime Minister - Wow. So, you obviously know I'm a member of parliament from Kashi, so you remembered Shambhu.
Player – Yes, sir.
Player – Sir, all of us in our team are all-rounder players.
Prime Minister – Well, everyone, so it is like politics. Everyone in politics is an all-rounder. Sometimes this one becomes a minister, sometimes that one becomes an MLA, sometimes an MP.
Prime Minister – Jai Jagannath!
Player – Jai Jagannath. I went to take a photo with Modi sir, and do you sing? He asked suddenly, "How does Sir know?" I didn't know, and I was shocked for a moment.
Prime Minister – Kavya, come first.
Player – Thank you.
Player – Sir, how did you know she sings?
Prime Minister – It is like, I take care of you all.
Player – My father also had a big dream. He used to like him (Prime Minister) a lot. But my father is not here now, but I am thinking that if my father saw it, he would have been very happy.
Prime Minister: This doesn't mean there's only this much to eat, there's more. Let's feed Jammu and Kashmir, who is an all-rounder.
Player: They talk about it all over the village, that you are blind, What do you do? You don't do anything. They talk about it all the time. And our parents listen to them, and they feel a little bad.
Prime Minister: The villagers must have started talking opposite now?
Player: Yes Sir. Yes Sir. It was nice to eat something sweet from their hands for the first time. So, it means those were some very good feelings. I can't say anything. I had a dream, my dream has come true.
Prime Minister: Start, daughter, Deepika. So, don't you like this?
Player: I like it.
Prime Minister: Do you eat sweets only.
Player: Sir, I am completely satisfied after talking to you.
Prime Minister: Completely satisfied.
Prime Minister: Those who work hard and come forward, their hard work never fails. Not just on the playing field, but in life as well. So, you guys are people who have worked hard. You have created an identity for yourself, and now, if you look at it, your self-confidence must have grown a lot.
Player - Yes, sir.
Prime Minister - Earlier, even if you had to talk to a teacher in the village, you would have wondered whether to talk to him or not? Today, you are talking to the Prime Minister.
Player - Yes, sir. You're talking to us so nicely. We are all feeling free... I feel like talking.
Prime Minister - You are one of my own, so I will talk to you like that.
Player - Under his (Prime Minister) leadership, our sport is progressing very well. He is doing very well in every field. Many teams are progressing.
Prime Minister: When I meet you, I too feel, wow, our country is progressing so much, these kids have so much courage. Just like we contest elections.
Player – Yes, Sir.
Prime Minister – So when the opponent's bail is forfeited, their deposit is confiscated, people say, what kind of people are you, you even ate up his bail. This time, you guys sent someone back to the pavilion in 10 overs.
Player – Sir, sent them back in three overs.
Prime Minister – So, why do you people behave so cruelly? Okay, best wishes to everyone. You have brought glory to the country, and this will inspire everyone.
Player – Yes, Sir.
Player – Thank you, Sir.
Prime Minister – And not just the divyang jans, but others will also be inspired.
