From Ekta Yatra to National Leadership

One of the most important parts of the story is Chouhan’s recollection of the 1991 Ekta Yatra, which marked the beginning of his close association with PM Narendra Modi.

At that time many saw the movement as a political campaign. However the Chouhan says Modi viewed it differently, as a movement to awaken national consciousness.

The mission went beyond hoisting the Indian tricolour at Lal Chowk, Srinagar.

According to Chouhan the larger objective was to inspire patriotism, commitment and a sense of the national unity among India’s youth.
