Bengaluru, May 27: It took two terms for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to turn himself from being ‘Pradhan Sevak to Devputra or Dev himself’, said Rural Development Minister Priyank Kharge ridiculing Modi’s claim to be ‘sent by God’.
In a post on microblogging site X, the minister dubbed Modi’s description of himself as ‘not biologically born but sent by God’ and wondered whether the ‘repeated assertions of divinity (by Modi) is out of sheer desperation or madness’.
“He (Modi) is convinced and has also managed to convince his Bhakts like Sambit Patra to proclaim that even Lord Jagannath is a Modi Bhakt and he speaks of himself in the third person,” Kharge said.
Kharge quoted American leader Abraham Lincoln to say, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
