Here's another story about our country's obsession with Narendra Modi: A
mango cultivator in Uttar Pradesh has now named a mango variety after the
PM-elect.

'NaMo Aam', says veteran mango cultivator Haji Kalimullah, is a mix of
'Husn-e-Aara', a mango variety known for its beauty, and 'Dussehri', which is
regarded for its taste.
"It is named after and dedicated to Narendra Modi," Kalimullah says.
Popularly known as the 'Mango King', Kalimullah has in the past developed
several mango cross-breeds that have been inspired by personalities. "The new
variety suits Modi," he says.
"I wish that the first ripe fruit of this variety reaches Modiji, he tastes
it, and gives an opportunity for its fragrance to spread world over," he
adds.
However, the mango is yet to hit the markets, Kalimullah says, adding that
India had high hopes from the PM-elect: "We have high expectations from Modi and
pray that he takes everyone along. His thinking appears to be good. He can play
a major role in ending conflicts world over."
"The Muslim community has high hopes from Modiji. They also hope that he
would put forth his views taking everyone along," he said.
Kalimullah, a celebrated expert in mango cultivation in the famed mango
belt of Malihabad here, earned global acknowledgement by developing 300
different variants of the fruit on one tree.
