Narendra Modi is like a brother to me, has my blessings to be PM: Lata Mangeshkar

Veteran playback singer Lata Mangeshkar on Friday said that she wished to see Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister.

“I give my blessings to Narendra Modiji because he is like a brother to me. I used to send him Gujarati records. I pray to God that Narendra Modi becomes the Prime Minister of India. This is what everyone wants,” she said at the inauguration of Dinanath Mangeshkar super specialty hospital here today.

Modi, who is Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) prime ministerial candidate, inaugurated Dinanath Mangeshkar super specialty hospital in memory of Lata's father.

Lata Mangeshkar’s sister Asha Bhosle was also present at the event.
