“Please convey my blessings to young Belaku. I pray for her happiness and good health,” Modi tweeted on October 2, Gandhi Jayanti.

Earlier, Belaku’s father Mahesh Vikram Hegde had posted a picture of the birthday cake along with a message, saying his daughter had asked for Modi’s photo on the cake.

“Today is my daughter Belaku’s birthday. I asked her ‘What do u want on ua bday?’. She said ‘I want Modi Ji’s photo on my bday cake’,” Hegde had said.

Further, Hegde had said that Modi was a ‘chor’ (thief), but one who had stolen a kid’s heart.

“Indeed, PM Modi is a Chor... A Chor who has stolen even kid’s heart,” he said.

The chor reference comes in the wake of Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s corruption allegations against Modi over the Indian government’s new deal to purchase Rafale fighter jets from French firm Dassault.
