When asked once again about his image problem, Modi said: 'Actually, I have not spent a single minute on my image and that can also be a reason. I am busy with my work. I am committed to Gujarat. I am dedicated to Gujarat. I never talk about my image. I never spent a single minute for my image and therefore confusions may be there.'
On being told that even five years after the Gujarat killings of 2002 its ghost still haunts him and why he had not done anything to allay that ghost, Modi said: 'This I gave it to the media persons like Karan Thapar. Let them enjoy.'
To Thapar's suggestion why Modi could not say that he regretted the killings and that maybe the government should have done more to protect the victims, Modi claimed he had already said what he wanted to and it could be found from his statements.

Dear Nair... U don't know what exactly happened in Gujarat during 2002. Reading from some papers and seeing in channels did not give much ground reality. I am here in Gujarat since last 18 years and also resided in some of the areas where the riots terribly hit. Because of Mr.Narendrabhai Modi we are here with a promising life. U can never understand this and don't write nonsense without understanding the facts.
