USA: Oye! Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…The Nightingale Of India Lata Mangeshkar along with Amitabh Bachchan were among the distinguished members of the Indian film industry to be invited to the Prime Minister designate Narendra Modi's swearing-in ceremony on Monday in Delhi.
Says a member of the Mangeshkar family, "Lata Didi is overjoyed at Modiji's victory. It is in many ways the triumph of the common man, and Didi fully identifies with the saga of a soul from the soil reaching the highest pinnacle of success. In a way it reminds her of her own journey. She'd have loved to attend the swearing-in. But she was a little under-the-weather. To travel to Delhi's heat and then sit in the open air for the ceremony would have been strenuous for her."
Apparently Modiji, a diehard fan of the Nightingale, has most graciously accepted Lataji 'RSVP' on condition that she visit Gujarat as his personal guest at her earliest.
When contacted Lataji was supremely appreciative of Narendra Modi's triumph. "I am proud to say I supported his leadership qualities. Full credit goes to the aam junta of India, the common man for bringing this amazing change of governance in the country. Now it's up to Modiji's government to deliver. The country has voted for change. Now let's see what happens."
Incidentally sources close to Lataji say Modiji was keen that she contest the Lok Sabha elections from Gujarat.
Lataji neither denies nor confirms this rumour. She does admit that there was some persuasion for her to contest the elections. "But I had absolutely no interest in politics. I am just happy that the country has voted for change."
