Madhya Pradesh Agriculture Minister and BJP leader Kamal Patel termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi an “incarnation of God”, saying he, like Lord Ram and Lord Krishna, was born to end the atmosphere of despair, created due to the rise in “atrocities” committed by the Congress, corruption, and the destruction of the country’s culture.

Speaking to reporters in Harda on Monday, Patel said the tasks accomplished by PM Modi like leading India on the path of becoming ‘Vishwa Guru’, ridding the country of corruption, and ensuring the public welfare wouldn’t have been accomplished by an ordinary person.

“Whenever any crisis descends on India and tyranny increases then it is said in our religion and culture that God takes avatar in a human form,” Patel said.

He said Lord Ram had taken avatar in a human form and established ‘Ramrajya’ by killing demon Ravan and defeating other evil powers, and protecting the people. When Kansa’s atrocities increased, Lord Krishna took birth and ended his cruelties thus giving relief to the common people, the minister said.

“Similarly, when atrocities of the Congress increased…corruption, casteism rose, the culture of the country was destroyed and an atmosphere of despair was prevailing all around then Narendra Modi was born to end it,” Patel said.

He said India is becoming a “Vishwa Guru” under the leadership of Modi “who has given a corruption-free government and also ensures the welfare of the common people”.

“These are impossible tasks which a common man is not able to accomplish. It could have happened in 60 years, if possible. So, PM Narendra Modi ji is an ‘Avatari Purush’ (incarnate) and did impossible works. He is the incarnation of God,” Patel said.

Interestingly, Patel last November had suggested that Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is incarnate of tribal icon Tantya Bhil, known in the tribal narrative as ‘Indian Robin Hood’.

“Tantya mama used to facilitate marriages of girls. Our mama (as CM Chouhan is fondly called) also does the same. Tantya mama used to loot the rich and distribute the wealth among the poor. Our CM does not loot, but collects taxes from the rich and spends it for the poor. In a way, we can say that Tantya mama took rebirth as our CM Shivraj,” he had said.
