Mumbai Mayor and Shiv Sena leader Snehal Ambekar has compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Hitler.

In an interview with a Mumbai newspaper, the 43-year-old said, "I admire Narendra Modi for his self-reliant way of working. But at some level, I feel his rule is quite like Hitler...This is bound to happen when power is concentrated in the hands of one man," said Ambekar, a first-time municipal corporator.
