Prahlad Modi’s income and occupation

Prahlad Modi is the vice president of the All India Fair Price Shop Dealers' Federation. Details about his income are not available in the public domain. Prahlad used to run a low-cost shop, but the Deccan Herald reported last year that he had recently retired due to old age. Despite his retirement from the shop, he remains involved in Federation activities. The Indian public distribution system (PDS) network includes fair-price shops. These stores are authorised to sell rationed goods such as wheat, rice, and kerosene to ration-card holders at reduced prices. People from economically disadvantaged and low-income families are the primary beneficiaries of such stores.

Prahlad Modi’s relationship with Narendra Modi

PM Modi's younger brother, Prahlad Modi, is the fourth of six children born to Damodardas Mulchand Modi and his wife, Heeraben. Prahlad Modi is one of the most vocal critics of the Narendra Modi-led central government of India. However, he maintains that he is criticising the government’s policies and not his brother. In August this year, he was seen staging protests at Jantar Mantar with members of the All India Fair Price Shop Dealers' Federation, against the Central government.
