Sanjeev told IANS that the Modi Laddu stands out for its purity and rich flavour. He said that since he is from Varanasi, which is the Lok Sabha constituency of PM Modi, he includes gangajal in the laddu, reflects his emotional bond.
Sanjeev has also introduced a barfi, inspired by his patriotism. It is made from pure pistachios and almonds. He said that the barfi and other sweets are also being sold in large numbers.
To enhance the cultural connection, he has made a special “Aloo ka Papad”. He believes that his products would spread the essence of the Ganga river. He added that only natural ingredients, such as saffron and sweet neem, are used to add colour in his sweets.
He said that his focus isn’t solely on profit but on promoting the Ganga-Jamuna-Saraswati civilisation and Sanatani culture through his sweets.
