Muzaffarpur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi may have earned praise and admiration from a number of people from across the world for his politics and attractive personality but sculptor Jai Prakash, a local a fan of his, is so impressed and inspired by him that he made over thirty Modi statues during the coronavirus-induced national lockdown.
"The Prime Minister is like a guardian, he speaks like a father," Jai Prakash told ETV Bharat here. "I have not come across a Prime Minister like him. He touches my heart as he speaks," he added.
"I had nothing much to do during the lockdown but then Modi came to my mind and I decided to make his sculptures," he said, adding that he made the sculpture a "bank" so more and more people keep it at home.

"I developed it as a bank as I knew not many would buy it just a sculpture. Now, money could be saved in it," the artist said and informed that all the sculptures have been made with clay and natural colours and are nature-friendly.
The artist also said that it would be good if Modi gets to see his work.
