Modi reincarnation of Vivekananda: Bihar BJP leader

Bihar BJP President Nityanand Rai on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a reincarnation of Swami Vivekananda.

Speaking at a Bharatiya Janata Party Yuva Morcha function in Rajgir in Nalanda district, the BJP leader said that Vivekananda, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna, was a youth icon and the young men should follow his path for the country's development.

He took a dig at Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad, saying his son Tejashwi Yadav was the "last successor to the jungle raj in Bihar".
