Saris with pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi are turning into a big hit among women, particularly Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers, in Jharkhand.

Echoing her Kalpana Singh said: "I have also ordered Modi sari online. It is rarely available at stores due to huge demand."
These saris, costing Rs 1,500 a piece, was launched in Gujarat this month. It's online sale is rising by day.
Several shopowners have placed orders seeing the demand ahead of elections. "We have ordered 100 saris. It will reach us in 10-15 days," said Neeru Singh, a BJP leader.
