Kin confident of Narendra Modi's victory

Ahmedabad: Ahead of the result-day, Pralhad Modi, brother of BJP prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi, says he and his family are confident that his elder brother, “a boy from an ordinary family”, is set to become the Prime Minister.

“Our family is overjoyed...we cannot express this happiness in words. A boy from an ordinary family, a down-to-earth person, is to be anointed as chief of Hindustan’s sultanate,” said Mr Modi, younger brother of BJP’s PM candidate.

“I myself witnessed people’s overwhelming support (to Mr Modi). Besides, exit polls are also predicting Narendra bhai’s victory. That is why our family is so confident of his victory,” he said. He further said his family did not profess any claim over Mr Modi now. “Now the people of India have their claim on him,” Mr Modi said.

"When (Narendra) Modi, as a youngster, left the home, it caused pain to the family, but now the family is “happier than ever”", he said.
