Lucknow: The Mango festival at Lucknow celebrated different varieties of the 'King of Fruits' in a unique way by adding a political twist to the event! With around 700 varieties of mangoes including famous Chausa, Dashhari, Hosnahara, Mallika, Kesar, Tommy Atkins and Langda, the unique 'Modi mango,' which weighs around 450 grams and has been named after Prime Minister Narendra Modi grabbed attention, thanks to its peculiar name.

After Narendra Modi in a recent interview with actor Akshay Kumar spoke about his love for mangoes, many mango growers have named the fruit after his name. "Just like Modi Ji, 'Modi Mango' has also garnered immense popularity. Like Prime Minister's 56-inch chest, the size of this mango is also very special. That's why it was named Modi Mango. Given its popularity, the name will be documented and patented," stated Upendra Kumar Singh, the General Secretary of the Mango committee.
