Narendra Modi finds relation with Modi clan of Arunachal

Pasighat, Feb 22: Members of a clan of the Adi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh had a reason to smile on Satruday when BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi tried to find a relation between them and his own family.

"There must be some relation between the clan and my ancestors as they have the same surname," Modi said while addressing the Vijay Sankalp Abhiyan rally here.

"The Modi clan of the Adi tribe with a population of around 7,000 must have relation with the Modis of Gujarat. It could be established if one ventures into the history," the BJP stalwart said.

"Lord Krishna from Dwarka (Gujarat) married Rukmini from Arunachal," he said. "So Arunachal and Gujarat had a relationship of over 1000 years." Modi found out another relation between the two states as the sun rises first in Arunachal and sets last in Gujarat.
