<p>Prahlad Modi, the younger brother of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, today asked his community members to prefix "Modi" to their names.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"After coming here I am only hearing one thing, Narendra Modi is pride of India and of his community. But why we, the members of Teli Samaj (oil-makers' community) are not ready to prefix Modi to our names," Prahlad said here at an all-India meet of young men and women of the 'Sahu' community.<br /><br />Leaders of his community, for their selfish motives, use names of sub-castes such as Sahu, Chauhan, Parmar, Rathod and Jaiswal, he said.<br /><br />Goddess Karma Devi was a Teli and "we are her children and we are Teli and Modis," he added.<br /><br />"We should resolve today that henceforth our name would begin with Modi," Prahlad said, adding "if we start with prefix Modi, I believe that our community's population will add upto 14 crore" (across India).<br /><br />He also said the community was a divided lot due to groupism and because of the political parties which fooled them. He called for unity of the community.<br /><br />The Patidar and Rajput communities too have sub-castes but their identity as Patidar and Rajput is intact, Prahlad said. <br /></p>
