Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s nearly 99-year-old mother Heeraben Modi on Thursday greeted the BJP’s supporters outside her home in Gandhinagar of Gujarat as the party looked set to sweep the Lok Sabha election.
News agency ANI tweeted a 19-second video of Heeraben outside her house surrounded by relatives as people were heard shouting the slogans of “Har, Har Modi” and “Modi Sahab Aap Aage Chalo, Hum Tumhare Saath Hain” and “Vande Mataram”.
Prime Minister Modi was leading in Varanasi by a margin of 169,000 votes, according to Election Commission trends as the BJP and its ally Apna Dal surged ahead of their rivals in 58 of the 80 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh.
