New Delhi, Oct 15: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday asked a woman booth worker in Bihar to address him as bhaiya or brother instead of sir, saying women power is his biggest strength, shield and inspiration.
Modi exuded confidence that Bihar will celebrate another Diwali on November 14 — when the assembly poll results will be declared — by celebrating NDA’s victory, and women are going to play a key role in ensuring that.
Interacting virtually with BJP workers from the poll-bound state through the NaMo app, Modi urged the state’s women to go out and vote in groups, singing songs and beating thalis to celebrate the festival of democracy.
“This time, Bihar is going to have a double Diwali. First, people celebrated Diwali on the first day of Navratri due to GST. Now, Diwali is on October 20, and we are going to celebrate that. But this time, Bihar is in a mood to celebrate the NDA’s victory on November 14. Bihar’s sisters and daughters will play a major role in this,” Modi said.
The prime minister asked BJP booth workers in Bihar to host special programmes for all “sisters” in their booth on Bhai Dooj on October 23 and also honour ‘lakhpati didis’ and ‘drone didis’ in their respective areas. (PTI)
