Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday hailed BJP candidate from West Bengal's Ausgram seat Kalita Majhi, who reportedly works as a house help, and said she is an example in politics.

Taking to Twitter, Modi also tagged a media report on Majhi, which states that she is the wife of a plumber and works as a house maid earning a modest income.

Majhi, the BJP candidate from the Ausgram assembly seat in West Bengal, is an example in politics, Modi said in a tweet in Hindi.


"Kalita ji, who earns a livelihood in a self-respecting manner, has emerged as a new hope for the society through her dedication to serve," he said.
