1:31 pm: The sky is turning hot now, and the political atmosphere is also turning hot. Two days ago, the mahanubhav from Congress came to Karnataka, the Congress President was in Kerala, I am surprised that Madam Soniaji, Rahulji are coming to the South, but close nearby is Andhra Pradesh, which is burning, and they don't have time to go there. Brothers and sisters, the people of Seemandhra and Telangana need the balm of peace, they have been badly wounded. These leaders do not have the time to go to AP. The people of AP had put them on the throne in Delhi, but today, whent he people of Andhra are in crisis, the leaders of Congress are unwilling to speak two words about them. Politics cannot be more cruel. The feelings and demands of the people of Seemandhra, post-Telangana, are being addressed. At least, the Congress leaders should address their concerns, but the Congress party is drunk with power and its arrogance at its zenith, that's why their leaders do not at all bother about the people. Leaders who do not bother about human beings, should we ever think of supporting such a Congress Party? Should they be punished? Will you punish them? asks Modi rhetorically.
