The viral video attempts to draw uncanny similarities between the Nazi leader and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a reference to a speech <\/a>he made in November 2016 after demonetisation was announced by the Government.<\/p>\n

PM MODI’S SPEECH OF NOVEMBER 2016<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It may be noted that following the announcement of demonetisation on November 8, 2016, PM Modi had made an emotional appeal, asking the people of the country to give him time and to punish him in whatever manner they see fit if he were to fail.<\/p>\n
