PM Modi's 'damage control' measures come months after he drew backlash for saying 'he is not biological but sent by God.' He made this statement in the run up to 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
The PM invited sharp criticism from his political rivals including the Congress after he said that he believed that he was born biologically when his mother was alive. "After she passed away, upon reflecting on all my experiences, I was convinced that God has sent me. This energy could not be from my biological body, but was bestowed upon me by God...whenever I do anything, I believe god is guiding me," PM Modi said in the interview with the news channel.
