Shastri said that PM Modi told his mother that he is like an elder son to her. He said the prime minister told her, “I am like an elder brother to him, leave his worries to me…Are you worried about his marriage?... His wedding will happen.”

Dhirendra Shastri praises PM Modi
While saying that his relationship with the prime minister is very cordial, “like that of brothers”, the spiritual leader said, “It's very difficult for the country to have a Prime Minister like him. I am saying this because he thinks only of the country. India's vision of Mission 2047 is unprecedented.”
However, he clarified that he does not align with any political party. “We have no alignment with any party; all political parties are ours because there are Hindus in all parties. My relations with Congress are very good.”
