How Did Prime Minister Narendra Modi Meet Jeet Bahadur?
According to a report by India Today, Jeet Bahadur and PM Modi first met in the year 1998 in when the former came to Gujarat by mistake, when he boarded the wrong train from Delhi. Jeet Bahadur, who was a poor Nepali migrant, was born in a family in the Lokaha village in Nawalparasi district of Nepal; he then came to Delhi with his brother Dashrah, in search of a job. After working in Rajasthan for some time, he decided to go back to Nepal and instead of boarding a train to Gorakhpur, he took one to Ahmedabad.
Jeet met a woman in Ahmedabad who took the boy to PM Modi who was not even the Gujarat Chief Minister at that time. Here, he was taken under the wings by PM Modi who looked after him and his education. Jeet Bahadur’s educational qualifications as per the last report, is that he has done a BBA degree from Ahmedabad itself.

Later, in 2014, PM Modi went to Nepal for a ‘personal visit’ and it was then, that he handed over his ‘godson’ to his own parents. Quoting the Hindustan Times report from that time, “it was an emotional moment at Hotel Hyatt Residency in Kathmandu on Sunday afternoon as Prime Minister Narendra Modi handed over his ‘godson’ Jeet Bahadur Saru Magar to his parents.”
