"When WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus arrived in India for a visit, he did not know he would be christened a new name: a traditional Indian name, more specifically from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state Gujarat. Christening Ghebreyesus ‘Tulsi bhai’ while inaugurating a three-day Global AYUSH Investment and Innovation Summit at Gandhinagar, Prime Minister Modi said this was the WHO chief’s Gujarati name and a significant one at that.

The video of the address was shared by Sunil Deodhar, BJP national secretary, co-incharge of Andhra Pradesh. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
