Addressing the NDA MP-elects in parliamentary party meeting, Modi said, Pawan is not Pawan. He is a storm.
Praising Modi, Pawan said, I am fortunate and grateful for giving this opportunity to be here. Starting 2014, in the same place. As honourable Chandrababu Naidu-ji said, We want to see Modiji to rule this country for 15 years and its happening.
Chandrababu-ji, your prophecy came true. Modi ji, you truly inspire the nation. As long as you are the Prime Minister of this country, our country will never bow down to anyone.
