Prime Minister Narendra Modi today slammed the opposition Congress and Samajwadi Party (SP) for “questioning the country’s army and the surgical strikes” and called the SP “corrupt and good-for-nothing” and a party that has “scant regard for the safety of women.”
Modi was addressing a campaign rally in Jaunpur, after an hours-long roadshow that started this morning in Varanasi which goes to the polls on March 8, in what will be the last phase of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.The PM slammed the “political opportunism” of those who “question the army and the surgical strikes” in Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir last year and called them “shameless” for “politicizing national security.”He alleged that the opposition parties criticized demonetisation because they are corrupt.
“The note ban was criticised by the SP, the BSP and the Congress. All three, Buaji (auntie), bhatija (nephew) and bhatija’s friend, got uncomfortable,” he said, referring to BSP chief Mayawati,SP chief Akhilesh Yadav and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, respectively.
