A brief exchange between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a Maharashtra farmer at Revati Sule’s Delhi wedding reception has caught the internet’s attention. The man seen approaching Modi with his phone was identified as Mithilesh Desai, a Ratnagiri-based farmer and entrepreneur known for cultivating several varieties of jackfruit and promoting its processing and commercial use.
A video from the reception shows Modi sitting on a sofa as Desai walks up to him in a black jacket. After greeting the Prime Minister, Desai takes out his phone and appears to show him something on the screen.
