Who is Prahlad Damodar Das Modi?
70-year-old Prahlad Damodar Das Modi is the younger brother of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the fourth child of Damodardas Modi and Hira Ben Modi. Despite being the brother of the country’s prime minister, he is known to criticize a lot of government policies.
Prahlad Modi is the president of the All India Fair Price Shop Dealer’s Association and is a noted critic of the Bhartiya Janta Party despite it being his elder brother’s party. The younger Modi brother also gained prominence recently when he staged a protest against Centre in Delhi’s Jantar Mantar.
Raising several dharnas against policies introduced by PM Modi, Prahlad Modi was one of the shopkeepers who raised his voice against the business taking a hit in the Covid pandemic. Prahlad used to own a ration shop in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad, and he recently retired due to old age.
Prahlad Modi has been protesting against the policies of his brother Narendra Modi since he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat and continues to do so even after he became the Prime Minister.
