Couldn’t visit mother but lakhs of mothers blessing me here: PM Modi on his birthday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing at a program of Self Help Groups in Sheopur, MP on September 17 said that lakhs of mothers in tribal areas and villages have blessed him on the occasion of his birthday. “On this day, it is generally my endeavour that I go to my mother, touch her feet and seek blessings. Today I could not go to her, but lakhs of mothers working hard in tribal areas and villages are blessing me here today,” he said. “A huge difference between the India of the last century and the new India of this century has come as a representation of our Nari Shakti. In today’s new India, from Panchayat Bhawan to Rashtrapati Bhavan, the flag of women power is flying. In the last 8 years, we have helped in every way to empower Self Help Groups. Today more than 8 crore women across the country are associated with this campaign. We aim to have at least one sister from every rural household associated with this campaign,” he added.
