Lal Bahadur Shastri was the home minister of Uttar Pradesh in the year 1949. One day, cooler was brought to his house from the people of development committee. His kids got excited and relaxed, in the hope summer is going to be awesome!
When Shastriji returned from work he saw the cooler. Immediately he called development committee, & told them to take away the cooler right away. Seeing childrens' dull faces his wife suggested not deny this facility.
Shastriji told, “It is not necessary that I will stay at this post forever. Today, if we accept this facility our kids will get spoiled. Tomorrow, a day will come when I’ve to marry my daughters, what if they did not get this facility; they will have to suffer then. Nobody knows what will be the conditions ahead.”
Kids unaware of the logic then, praised their father in their 20’s.
