You all must be aware of the ₹1 Idli Paati (grand mother in Tamil) who came to the limelight after industrialist Anand Mahindra tweeted about her.
Kamalathal, an octogenarian hailing from Vadivelampalayam in Coimbatore district has been serving steaming lip smacking Idlies (south Indian delicacy) just for ₹1 for more than 3 decades.
Now in a video, Kamalathal has expressed her desire to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Modi is only giving me 2 gas cylinders for the past 2-3 years. I feel so happy. I want to see him and thank him.” Kamalathal says.
She also further states that she wishes to go and meet him in Delhi or if time permits PM Modi can come to her shop and have idlies.
Kamalathal who had been working in wood-burning stove for the past 30 years received a gas connection in 2019.
Salute the spirit and commitment of Kamalathal. Glad to having helped her through local OMC officers in getting LPG connection.
Society must empower such hard working people who defy all odds. https://t.co/ZBCsnPqdpA
