Karnataka farmer wiping off the PM's cutout in a viral video

A video showing a farmer wiping Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cutout with his towel has gone viral on social media.

Sharing the video from his twitter handle, Union Home Minister Amit Shah described it as a 'beautiful' video.

The video was captured on Friday evening ahead of Shah's roadshow in Devanahalli of Karnataka. The roadshow was cancelled due to rain. However, once the rain stopped, the farmer was seen wiping Prime Minister Modi's cutout placed at the venue.

When the man, who captured the video, asked the farmer whether he was paid to do the job, the farmer furiously responded, "It is love and trust. Do you think Modi has done nothing? Modi is god...."

Retweeting the video shared by Karnataka BJP, Shah said: "The unwavering trust in PM @narendramodi Ji and the selfless affection for him is what the BJP has earned and it is its source of strength. Have a look at this beautiful video from Devanahalli, Karnataka." [IANS/NS]
