In the book, the Man of the Moment: Narendra Modi, the biographers MV Kamath and Kalindi Randeri said in the book that in 1956, when Rasikbhai Dave was organizing some Congress event in Vadnagar, Narendra Modi helped him as a volunteer.
After knowing the interest of little Narendra Modi, Rasikbhai Dave wanted to know what such child could do in a political event. In reply, Modi told that he would sell or distribute badges for the Congress.
Finally, Modi helped Rasikhbhai and distributed badges among the participants. Even his idea also helped the party in raising funds.
According to the books, Modi continued to work in Congress events in Vadnagar for some time.
As per the reports of India Today, this information was also confirmed by a Congress leader from Vadnagar Dwarkadas Joshi, a noted follower of Mahatma Gandhi and Vinobha Bhave.
