Yesterday, all our family members met PM Modi. It was a great occasion and a wide range of discussions took place. The type of discussions we had, I felt PM Modi was like my grandfather and we never felt that there was a difference between Narasimha Rao and PM Modi. We discussed not only political issues but also discussed science, technology, health and education for about 30-45 mins."

He further said that PM Narendra Modi has recognised people from different walks of life and different political parties who have made an impact, especially on the downtrodden.

"PV Narasimha Rao is instrumental in bringing the Land-Ceiling Act. It was a bold decision. When we compare him to PM Modi, both have done much for the country instead of the family members. Both have the same mindset of nation-first. Narasimha Rao brought economic liberalisation and devaluation of the rupee, and PM Modi brought demonetization of the rupee. Both have the same thought process," he added. (ANI)
