PM Modi invokes Lord Krishna, says UP has ‘adopted’ me

With hectic campaigning on for the third and fourth phase elections in Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday invoked Lord Krishna and said that he is the adopted son of Uttar Pradesh.

Vowing not to ditch the people of the state, the Prime Minister said that he had chosen Uttar Pradesh as his land of vocation despite being born in Gujarat, thereby drawing a parallel with Lord Krishna who was born in Uttar Pradesh but made Gujarat his ‘karma bhoomi’.
