Man gets PM Modi's face tattooed as show of support

May 06, 2018 20:08

A man in Karnataka's Raichur has tattooed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's face on his back to show his support to the prime minister and the Bharatiya Janata Party during the ongoing election campaigning in the district.

The elated man, Basvaraj, said he got the tattoo done as a sign of appreciation for the work done by the PM in a period of four years.

"It took 15 hours to get this done. I got it made as our PM has done good work in a span of four years," said Basvaraj, who is a private tutor by profession.

In a BJP rally organised in the district, Prime Minister Modi called out his name and encouraged him to help the party win in the upcoming elections.

"He mentioned me in his rally today and said I should help BJP win elections in the state. I will never forget this day," Basvaraj added.
