Don't View From Political Prism: BJP On PM Modi "Incarnation Of God" Remark

Uttar Pradesh Panchayati Raj Minister Upendra Tiwari on Tuesday had hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that the latter is no ordinary person adding that he is an "incarnation of the Almighty."

UP BJP leader and spokesperson Anila Singh said on Wednesday that the state minister Upendra Tiwari's statements describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as an "incarnation of god" should not be viewed through a political prism.

"I think (Mr) Upendra's statements should not be viewed from a political prism. He was perhaps explaining the feelings of people and women who now have their own gas connections, houses, toilets, bank accounts and whose children are getting a good education. There are hundreds of social schemes by the Prime Minister that have benefitted a lot of people so for that person Modiji is equivalent to god. If someone does something really great to me, they would be like a god to me. But that does not mean they are a God," said Ms Singh.
