A life simple yet extraordinary: PM Modi's mother Hiraben passes way (India Today)

Hiraben Damodardas Modi breathed her last at a hospital in Ahmedabad. For PM Modi, she was a huge source of inspiration in life.

Even when Modi was CM, the family used to live in Ahmedabad first and later shifted to a bungalow scheme in Gandhinagar—just a few minutes from the CM’s official residence. A mother of five sons and a daughter, Hiraben Damodardas Modi breathed her last in Ahmedabad early on the morning of December 30. At that time, Narendra Modi had been the chief minister of Gujarat for three years and the idea of him advancing to the national stage was not on people’s minds. The only time Hiraben came to Modi’s swearing-in ceremony was in 2002, when he took oath for the second time as Gujarat chief minister. For instance, in 2016, when Hiraben’s health deteriorated, she was admitted to the Gandhinagar Civil Hospital without any ‘VIP fuss’. In June 2022, when his mother turned 100, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited her and pictures of him washing her feet—a traditional Indian way of seeking blessings—went viral.

But instead he gave that coin to a poor man's daughter in our village, who needed money to buy books and pencils. I always used to vote for the Jan Sangh [the BJP's parent party]. Ask her which party she will vote for, Hiraben says, "Of course BJP! He always used to tell me that if there is one person who is ready to die for the country, it is him." I know he loves everyone." He has visited his family only five times ever since he left home in his teens to join the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. So why should I feel bad if he does not help us financially," she says.
