Puducherry Lt Governor Kiran Bedi tweeted a video of an old woman dancing, thinking her to be the mother of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but realised later that it was a case of mistaken identity.
Bedi posted, two days back, the 50-second video clip in which an oldwoman in white sari is seen dancing to a popularsong.
Along with the video, she wrote, "spirit of Deepavali at the tender age of 97. She is Mother of @narendramodi (Hiraben Modi 1920) celebrating Diwali at her ownhome @Sadhguru JV".

The former IPS officer, however, realised her mistake the same day. "I am informed it is mistaken identity @Sadhguru JV. But salute to the mother with so much vigour. I hope I can be like her if/when I am 96," she tweeted to make the correction.
At a press conference here today, Chief Minister V Narayanasamy was asked to comment on this but he merely smiled and walked away.
