New Delhi, Oct 13 (IBNS): A  Maharashtra BJP spokesperson has invited criticisms by describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the '11th incarnation' of Lord Vishnu.

Maharashtra BJP spokesperson Avadhut Wagh made the controversial tweet where he described the PM with the Hindu God.

"Hon PM @narendramodi ji is the 11th #Avatar of Lord Vishnu à¤¯à¤¦à¤¾ यदा हि धर्मस्य," Wagh tweeted.

Netizens slam BJP leader for the comment:

 

One Jayasree Vijayan tweeted: "The Maharashtra BJP on Friday virtually elevated PM Modi to a divine status by calling him as the '11th Avatar of Lord Vishnu' ! So he has to leave his PM chair. Please give him place in Kailas just near Lord Shiva !  Foolishness has no limits !"

One Netizen, who names his account as Gyaanii, said: " PM is the 11th avatar of Lord Vishnu??!! Throw the cannabis, dump ur marijuana and drink some milk to get over with the hangover of last night with him."
