India election: Narendra Modi gets mother's blessing for election win

India's next prime minister, Narendra Modi, visits his mother to seek her blessing as his Bharatiya Janata Party heads towards a landslide victory in the national elections. Mr Modi's mother gave her son her blessing, surrounded by relatives, in Gandhinagar in his home state of Gujarat. Television channels showed an emotional Mr Modi touching his mother's feet, a traditional gesture when Hindus seek the blessings of an older relative. His mother marked his forehead with vermilion and fed him sweets. The top official in Gujarat state for over a decade, Mr Modi often contrasted his humble roots with those of his rival Rahul Gandhi, heir to India's most powerful political dynasty. As he led his party through a dazzling, high-tech election campaign, the career politician called voters' attention to his mother riding a three-wheeled auto-rickshaw to cast her ballot earlier this month.
