Recently, a video has gone viral on social media platforms claiming that the Ram bhajan in the video is sung by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
A Facebook user shared the video with a caption in Hindi: “*अगर आप को मालूम हो जाए कि यह देवी भजन कौन गा रहा है तो आप आश्चर्यचकित हो जाएंगे! यह और कोई नहीं है, यह हमारे देश के प्रधान मंत्री माननीय श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी जी हैं। धन्य है वह देश जहाँ का प्रधानमंत्री ऐसी धार्मिक आस्था व संस्कृति को जानने और समझने वाला हो…**बहुत ही गर्व की बात है। एकदम प्रोफेशनल सिंगर की तरह गाया है।*” The English translation is: “*You will be surprised if you know who is singing this bhajan! This is no one else… this is our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji. Blessed is the country where the prime minister knows and understands such religious beliefs and culture…** It is a matter of pride. Sang just like a professional singer.*”
