PM Narendra Modi on Saturday announced the arrival of a new family member — a calf he named Deepjyoti — to the PMO family. Modi said the calf derived its name from the white mark on its forehead, which he said was a “mark of light”.

Posting images of the calf and another where he is seen sitting for Lord Ganesh puja with the calf in his lap, Modi said: “It is said in our scriptures — ‘Gaav sarvasukha prada’ (the cow is an eternal giver of happiness). There has been an auspicious arrival of a new member in the PM House Family at Lok Kalyan Marg. The calf has a symbol of light on its forehead. Hence, I have named it Deepjyoti.”

Protection of cows is one of the top political and ideological commitments of the ruling BJP. The images PM posted right on the eve of Haryana elections amid Ganesh Chaturthi carry both religious and political symbolism.
