''Mom got emotional I went to meet mom in the morning. Usually, I visit her in the evenings. She suddenly started crying. My brother @rajukherofficial was also out of town. One never knows what is going on in a mother's mind. What followed were so many blessings from her and a usual reference to her favourite, our Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji. Her ending line to me "Tu Dil Ki Awaaz Sunta Hai" is the best thing a son could hear from his mother. #DulariRocks #ModiSaab #MomsBlessings.”
