← Back to Morarji Desai Profile
“The former Prime Minister of India, Morarji Desai, was known for his quirky behaviour, and practising urine therapy was just one of them.”
“He had a strange set of rules, based on what he believed was the truth. There are a few politicians today who look as immaculately clean as he did in his starched white dhoti-kurta outfit, among a sea of corruption.

“He liked Jimmy Carter because according to him, “he’s one of the few world leaders who’s not a womaniser.”
