His name has been proposed to the Guinness Records Committee by Agra-based World Record Holders Organisation (WRHO) and the committee has responded to the request by seeking more data on the rallies conducted by Modi.
Talking to IndiaToday.in, Dr Parthsarthi Sen Sharma, general secretary, WRHO, said that the organisation has written to the Limca Book of Records and World Records Academy, US, apart from the Guinness Records Committee. He said that while canvassing for the 16th Lok Sabha elections, Modi held over 1,800 political rallies, in person as well as through 3D holographic technique. This is believed to be the world record of electoral rallies held by any politician.
He said that the organisation has received a response from the Guinness Records Committee on email and is in the process of collating all the data to be sent to the committee for consideration.
