PM Modi in Shahjahanpur: 'Opposition running after PM's chair; ignoring poor, youth, farmers'
After reaching out to the voters in Azamgarh, Sant Kabir Nagar, Mirzapur and Varanasi, Prime Minister Modi's next destination is Shahjahanpur in central Uttar Pradesh.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday made several attacks on the Congress party while addressing Kisan Kalyan Rally in Roza area of Shahjahanpur. Modi accused the opposition of running after PM's chair while ignoring the farmers, youths and poor people in the country. He also took a jibe on the opposition, including the Congress, for moving the no-confidence motion yesterday.
"I asked them the reason for moving the no-confidence motion, but they had no answers," he said.
Referring to Rahul Gandhi's 'hugging' antics in Lok Sabha during no-trust motion debate on Friday, PM Modi said the Congress leader's act showed how desperate he was for the PM's chair. "He can see nothing but PM's chair," the PM said.
