On hearing the name of PM Modi, his political image and leadership ability is discussed across the country, but less people are aware of his family. The story of the Modi family is full of simplicity and struggle, where his brothers chose the path of life in their own way.
The eldest brother Sombhai Modi: Old age home owner
Prime Minister Modi’s eldest brother Sombhai Modi runs an old age home in Vadnagar, Gujarat. Vadnagar is the ancestral village of the Modi family, from where Narendra Modi started his life. Sombhai has established this old age home in his village to serve the elderly. However, there is no significant conversation between Sombhai and Narendra Modi. Sombhai said in an interview, “I am the brother of Narendra Modi, not the Prime Minister. I am one of the 125 crore countrymen.” This reflects the distance between them.
Second elder brother Amritbhai Modi: Retired from private company
Amritbhai Modi lives in Ahmedabad with his son Sanjay, daughter -in -law and two grandson. He has retired from a private company. His life is full of simplicity. Amritbhai’s salary was once less than Rs 10,000, and his son Sanjay runs a small shop of spare parts near the house. Family expenses run from this shop. This family has met PM Modi only twice-one time in 2003 and the second time in 2014. His family says that he did not sit on the plane till date.
Third brother Prahladbhai Modi: Ration shop owner
Prahladbhai Modi runs a ration shop in Ahmedabad. He is also the President of the Gujarat State fair price Swami Sangh. Prahladbhai opposed Narendra Modi’s campaign for transparency in the PDS system during the Chief Minister’s time. He also organized public demonstrations against the ‘raid Raj’ held with shopkeepers. This reflects stress in his relationship with his elder brother.
Younger brother Pankajbhai Modi: Officer in Information Department
Pankajbhai Modi is an officer in the Gujarat Information Department. He has met him several times after Narendra Modi became Prime Minister. The reason for this is that his mother Hiraben lived with Pankajbhai. Pankajbhai’s job and his family’s situation is simplicity. His story is slightly different from other members of the Modi family, as he meets PM Modi from time to time.
Acented village of Modi family: Story of Vadnagar
The ancestral village of the Modi family Vadnagar is located in Mehsana district of Gujarat. It was here that Narendra Modi was born. His father Damodardas Modi used to run a tea shop, and Narendra helped him in his childhood. The imprint of the Modi family can be seen in Vadnagar even today. Sombhai has established an old age home here, which reflects the values of his family.
