"After meeting Sushma ji, my mother said that the baby will be called Sushma," PM Narendra Modi wrote.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared an interesting anecdote on Monday, the 70th birth anniversary of former minister and BJP stalwart Sushma Swaraj. The former foreign minister died on August 6, 2019, around two months after the BJP came to power for a second time.
In a Facebook post written on his way back from Punjab's Jalandhar, where he addressed an election rally, PM Modi offered his tribute to the late leader, recalling the time Sushma Swaraj had visited his village in Gujarat.
"It would be about 25 years ago, when I used to work as an oragniser in the BJP and Sushma ji was on an election tour in Gujarat," he wrote.
"She went to my village Vadnagar, and met my mother too. At that time, a daughter was born in our family to my nephew. The astrologers decided on a name after consulting her astrological chart," he wrote, adding that the family had accepted the name as well.
