Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday took it to Twitter to express his shock on a temple being built in his name in Rajkot.
The PM termed as shocking and against “India’s great traditions” the reports of a temple being built in his name.
“Have seen the news about a Temple being built in my name. I was appalled. This is shocking & against India’s great traditions,” Modi wrote on Twitter.
“Building such Temples is not what our culture teaches us. Personally, it made me very sad. Would urge those doing it not to do it,” he said. “If you have time & resources, please devote the same towards fulfilling our dream of a Clean India,” he added.
The temple, with a bust of Modi in the sanctum, stands on Kothariya road and would be inaugurated on February 16.
