Only 'Tai' Can Admonish Me: Modi on Sumitra Mahajan

Addressing an election rally here, Modi said, "As the Lok Sabha speaker, 'Tai' (as Mahajan is popularly known in the constituency) has carried out her duties in a skilful and controlled way. It is because of this, she has left an indelible impression on the minds of people." "All of you know me as prime minister.
