Was ordinary student, had bad hand-writing: Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today confessed that he was an ordinary student and had bad hand-writing.

In his 'Mann Ki Baat' radio programme, Modi, addressing school students of the country who are to appear for their board examinations, said that he was "an ordinary student who never got very good marks".

"My hand-writing was also bad and maybe my teachers passed me in my examinations as they might not have understood what was written," he said, in a jocular bid to lighten the exam-pressure on the students.
