DEOGHAR (Jharkhand):
 
ASSERTING that the Congress will be losing the Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday claimed that the party has fielded “two batsmen” to defend the “naamdar” (dynast). In a veiled dig at Congress leaders Mani Shankar Aiyar and Sam Pitroda, Modi said they were tasked by the party to take responsibility for its poor poll show.
 
“One says ‘hua to hua’ (it happened, so what) on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, while the other one, who has been behind the curtains after abusing me during the Gujarat elections, is attacking me again,” the Prime Minister said. While Pitroda faced the wrath of Congress President Rahul Gandhi for his remarks, Aiyar in an article raked up his controversial “neech” remark against Modi, saying his comments turned out to be prophetic. Referring to the huge gathering at the meeting, Modi said it was a “live example of what would happen on May 23”.
 
‘Cong stands with tukde-tukde gang’: PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday attacked the Congress saying it has been standing with the ‘tukde-tukde’ gang and joined hands with those who care less about the country and more about themselves. “Desh ko tukde tukde karne wale ke sath Congress khadi hai,” Modi said, addressing an election meeting at Paliganj in Patliputra constituency in Patna district. Modi complained to the public that those people have been hurling abuses at him and trying to damage his image and defame him. He appealed to the people not to support and vote for any party that could disintegrate the country. ‘Elect a strong Government that will protect the interest of the country.’
