Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to be the mascot of ‘Incredible India’ campaign as the Tourism Ministry decided to do away with plans to rope in any Bollywood stars, including Amitabh Bachchan, for the role which was lying vacant after ouster of Aamir Khan earlier this year. The tourism minister, Mahesh Sharma, had endorsed Modi for the role, saying he is the “best face” to promote Incredible India campaign. He said the more tourists have come to India from nations visited by the Prime Minister. “The perception about India has changed significantly in the last two years, with Prime Minister Modi visiting a host of countries during the period. So, who else could be the better face for Indian tourism than our Prime Minister,” Sharma had said.
