Tamil Nadu minister KT Rajendra Bhalaji on Saturday said none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the "daddy" of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).

Tamil Nadu minister for Milk and Dairy Development Bhalaji added that since the death of AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa, it was Modi who had been guiding the party. "Modi is our daddy now. Since we have lost our Amma, PM Modi has come as a daddy to guide and support us," he told reporters after addressing a party meeting in Viruthunagar district.
