I bear in mind Mulayam Singhji had given me two phrases of recommendation as blessings—it’s my amaanat… In 2019, within the final Parliament session of the final authorities, Mulayam Singh stood up on the ground of the Home to say one thing which is the largest blessing of my life. He had mentioned, ‘Modiji takes everybody collectively and I’m assured he’ll win 2019 and turn out to be prime minister once more’. His coronary heart should have been so massive that till he stayed alive, he saved blessing me. And immediately, from the financial institution of Maa Narmada and within the land of Gujarat, I pay my honest tributes to him.
