PM Modi is Lord Vishnu’s 11th Avatar: Maharashtra BJP Spokesperson

Talking to a Marathi news channel, he said, “The country is fortunate that we have got a god-like leader in Modi.”

A Maharashtra BJP spokesperson on Friday, 12 October, described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the "11th incarnation" of Lord Vishnu, prompting ridicule by the Opposition, with the Congress calling it an "insult" to the gods.

State BJP spokesperson Avadhut Wagh took to Twitter to say:

Hon PM @narendramodi ji is the 11th #Avatar of Lord Vishnu
यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य...
