Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament Pradeep Purohit has claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his previous birth, was Maratha king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Purohit, speaking in the Parliament on March 17, recounted an encounter with a saint who told him that PM Modi was Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in his past life.
The MP from Bargarh in Assam asserted that PM Modi is indeed Shivaji Maharaj, who has reincarnated to lead the country towards becoming the world most developed nation.
The second part of Budget session of Parliament which started on March 10 will run till April 4.
Shivaji was an Indian ruler and a member of the Bhonsle dynasty. Shivaji carved out his own independent kingdom from the Sultanate of Bijapur that formed the genesis of the Maratha Confederacy. In 1674, he was formally crowned the Chhatrapati of his realm at Raigad Fort.
Purohit remarks come amid a row over Mughal emperor Aurangzeb tomb and resulting violence in Nagpur.
