 He also took a dig at the Congress, saying attempt was made to erase their memories as part of a strategy. "But now I have decided that a dedicated museum of all former prime ministers will be established in Delhi," he said while speaking at an event to release a book on former prime minister Chandra Shekhar, written by Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh.

Modi urged family members of the former prime ministers to share all things related to them for this museum.

"I first met Chandra Shekhar Ji in 1977. I met him at the Delhi airport, I was travelling with Bhairon Singh Shekhawat Ji. The two leaders enjoyed a close bond despite their different political ideologies," Modi added.
