As India prepares to hold the world's biggest election, Narendra Damodardas Modi's face beams down from government Web sites, billboards advertising welfare programmes, full-page newspaper ads and television shows that live-broadcast his speeches.
Apparently, that ain't enough for the Chowkidaar No 1.
His Bharatiya Janata Party, taking a leaf out of Donald J Trump's playbook, is raising funds by selling NaMo Again T-shirts, mugs and wristbands through the Modi smartphone app.
