'In 1555, French seer Nostradamus predicted Modi's rule'

In a Facebook post, Minister of State Kiren Rijiju has said that the Narendra Modi's rule was predicted by French seer Nostradamus in 1555.

"French prophet Nostradamus wrote that from 2014 to 2026, a man will lead india, whom initially, people will hate but after that people will love him so much that he will be engaged in changing the country’s plight and direction," said the Arunachal Pradesh MP.

With the post Rijiju also attached the photo of German Chancellor Angela Merkel with PM Modi during her visit to Delhi in October and said, "This was predicted in the year 1555. A middle aged superpower administrator will bring golden age not only in India but on the entire world. Under his leadership India will not only just become the Global Master, but many countries will also come into the shelter of India.

To validate his argument, Rijiju projected calculations which show that the numbers 2,8,3 in the ruling BJP's total number of seats (283) in the current Lok Sabha add up to 13 as do those in the NDA's total seats (337), the UPA's (58) and the others (148).

However, Rijiju did not explain the link between the numbers and the "Prediction of Nostradamus '450 years ago of Modi Era."
