MUMBAI: Naredra Modi fans seem to be going all the way to promote him on every platform as well as take advantage of his popularity. The latest is a smartphone called Namo android smartphone that has been created by a group of people who claim to be 'independent body of fans of Narendra Modi', the chief minister of Gujarat.
Namo is the short form of the popular politician as well as an abbreviation of Next-generation Android Mobile Odyssey, the creator of this phone.
The Facebook page for this already has over 3000 likes as well as coverage across many print and online spaces. The handset features are mentioned as follows on the website: 1 GB RAM + 16 GB ROM, 2 GB RAM + 16 GB ROM, 2 GB RAM + 32 GB ROM, 2 GB RAM + 64 GB ROM, 1.5 Ghz MT6589 Turbo Chipset, 13 MP Camera, Corning Glass 2, Screen 5 inches.

They are also looking at getting permission from Modi for using his signature for their 'signature edition' of the phones. The phones are said to be China made, which will be imported to India and branded with this name and then sold here at about Rs 15,000.
