It's raining ignorance in Gujarat. Yet another politician has made headlines with his knowledge of history.

Gujarat BJP Minister Babu Bokhiria while addressing a gathering said that even Congress wanted Narendra Modi to become the Prime Minister after India got independence in 1947.

Even the BJP is amused with the minister's claim.

However, sources said that Babu Bokhiria wanted to say Sardar Patel but by a slip of tongue instead said PM Narendra Modi.

Bokhiria was sentenced to three years in prison in 2013 in an illegal limestone mining case but was acquitted in 2014.
