DELHI (Diya TV) — After two years in office as India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has at last brought his mother to his official residence in the capital for a tour of the grounds.
Modi on Sunday Tweeted photos of he strolling the grounds with his wheelchair-bound mother, enjoying the gardens on site and sharing a drink. The Prime Minister said he had seen her “after a long time” adding that it was her first visit to 7 Racecourse Road on a Facebook post.
“My mother returns to Gujarat. Spent quality time with her after a long time & that too on her 1st visit to RCR,” he tweeted, along with three photos.

During a Q&A session last year at the Facebook headquarters with Mark Zuckerberg, Modi nearly brought himself to tears when describing his childhood growing up alongside his mother.
“When we were small, what we used to do to get by,” Modi said, before a long pause, “We used to go to our neighbors’ houses nearby, we used to clean the dishes, fill water.”
“So you can imagine what a mother had to do, what a mother had to do to raise her children, what she must have gone through,” he said. “It is not what you become that a mother is going to want or wish for, it’s how you become that.”
