Sushil Kumar
Modi is the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar. He is the tallest BJP leader from
Bihar, but also remained a leader who has been continuously detested by a
powerful group of Bihar BJP leaders, including Giriraj Singh. He bore the brunt
of humiliating loss that the BJP had in the last Assembly Election. He was
sidelines and didn’t get Rajya Sabha nomination. He was also denied any
position in the state party. But, Sushil Modi didn’t take any backward step. He
started to attack Nitish led government from the very first day and soon became
the face of opposition of Bihar.
Later, he transformed himself as an anti –
corruption crusader with his scathing attacks on Lalu family members and their
web of illegal real estate properties. Sushil Modi well documented attack led
to fall of Mahagathbandhan and virtual #gharwapasi for Nitish Kumar as JDU –
BJP alliance formed the government.
Sushil Kumar,
the demolition man of BJP, is a lifelong pracharak of RSS. Like others, he had
also taken vow to remain bachelor. However, he fell for a girl and later married.
The name of his wife is Jessie George, a Christian. Yes, the wife of the
firebrand Hindutva Bihari leader is a Christian.
Love Story of
Sushil Modi and Jessie George
Sushil Modi had
decided to not get married. His family members tried their best to convince him
without success. He was also jailed for 24 months during emergency under MISA.
In 1984, Sushil
Modi was scheduled to go to Kashmir for an RSS event. He boarded a train in
Delhi. A girl was sitting beside his berth. She was Jessie George. When Jessie
learnt about Modi’s RSS connection, she started to bombard him with lots of
questions. Like others, she was also having a misconception that RSS is against
other religions.
Sushil Modi listened to her queries and cleared all doubts. The
journey was quite fruitful for Jessie. She, being a history scholar, had
learned many lessons of history. She developed keen interest in Sushil Modi.
She asked for her postal address (there were no email or mobile phone in those
dasy, oops!).
Once the trip
ended, Jessie started to write letters to Modi who used to reciprocate. They
had one more meeting in Mumbai. At that time, Jessie proposed her which Modi
refused citing his RSS link and oath to remain pracharak for life. Few days
later, Sushil Modi felt that he was also in deep love with Jessie. He was on a
crossroads. Being an active RSS pracharak and All India General Secretary of
ABVP, it was not possible for him to get married. He met Rajju Bhaiya and
discussed this issue. Rajju Bhaiya asked him to go to Atal Bihari Vajpayee who
suggested him to listen to his soul.
Few days later,
Sushil Modi made up his mind for marriage. He resigned from ABVP and left RSS.
Sushil Modi and
Jessie got married on 13th August, 1986. Jessie shifted to Patna and
soon got a job in Patna Women’s College. Sushil Modi started a computer
institute named Modi Computer Institute in 1987. That was the first computer
institute of Bihar (even before NIIT or Aptech). The institute was before its
time. The return on investment was not sufficient. Disenchanted with all this,
Modi again joined politics. He closed down his institute in 1990.
It must be noted
that since 1990 Modi is not a part of RSS. Further, Modi has never asked his wife
for conversion. His wife is still a practicing catholic.
Sushil Modi and
Jessie have two sons – both of them have studied from Mayo College, Ajmer.
