Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday said that he works hard and is a "taskmaster".
Responding to a student on Teachers' Day, Modi said: "Yes, I am a taskmaster and it is not that I myself do not work and take work from others."
He was answering the question: "People say you are like a headmaster but you appear to us as friendly. What kind of person are you?"
Modi added that he works hard and expects the same from others.
Modi said that during his Aug 15 address, he said that he was willing to work for 12 hours if his officers were willing to work for 11 hours.
