Ahmedabad: Saturday: Like every year Chief Minister Mr Narendra Modi today went to his mother to seek her blessings on his 62nd birthday, before beginning his 3-day fast.

Mr Modi went to his mother Hiraba, 92, seven in the morning. Hiraba is living a simple life with Mr Modi’s young brother Pankaj Modi who stays in a two room-kitchen government residence. Hiraba, with her natural motherly love, gave blessings to Mr Modi and gave him Tulsidasa’s version of Shri Ramcharit Manas.
