Viral video: As the campaign for the Karnataka Assembly election 2023 heats up, a video of a local man has emerged online, in which he can be seen wiping off rainwater from a cutout of Prime Minister Narendra Modi placed along the route of the BJP's roadshow in Devanhalli near Bengaluru in Karnataka on Friday.

ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಶ್ರೀ @narendramodi ಅವರನ್ನು ದೇಶದ ಜನತೆ ತಮ್ಮ ಮನೆಯವರಲ್ಲಿ ಒಬ್ಬನೆಂದು ಭಾವಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ದೇಶದ ರಾಜಕೀಯ ಇತಿಹಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಪರಿಯ ಪ್ರೀತಿ, ಗೌರವಕ್ಕೆ ಪಾತ್ರರಾದ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿತ್ವ ಮತ್ತೊಂದಿಲ್ಲ.

BJP’s Karnataka unit shared the clip on Twitter with a caption that reads, "The people of the country consider Prime Minister Narendra Modi as their family. In the political history of the country, there is no other personality who deserves love and respect. Before the party's road show to be held in Devanahalli today, a rare sight was seen when it rained,"

The video shows an older man in a white shirt and dhoti wiping a soaked Prime Minister cutout on Friday evening.

When the guy who shot the video inquired if he was doing it for money, he responded, "I don't need money. I never accept money from anyone. I'm doing it out of love and trust for him (PM Modi)." He choked up and continued, "To us, Modi is God."

The unwavering trust in PM @narendramodi Ji and the selfless affection for him is what the BJP has earned and it is its source of strength.
