Modi accompanied by Nepali boy!

Reports have it that Indian Prime Minister Modi is accompanied by his “godson” Jit Bahadur Sharumagar during his Nepal trip. Born in an impoverished family, Jit Bahadur had met Modi all of sudden when he was a young lad while wandering the slums  of Indian capital New Delhi after he had managed to flee from his dictatorial employer.

“My Nepal trip is very special. Years ago I met a child from Nepal, Jeet Bahadur who did not know where he was headed” Modi twitted.

In the meantime, the government has announced public holiday for all the educational institutions on the occasion of Modi’s Nepal trip.
