PM Modi on Chaudhary Charan Singh
Speaking on former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, PM Modi said the INDI alliance, which hates farmers, did not even give due respect to Chaudhary Charan Singh.
"The entire country saw what the INDI alliance did inside the Parliament during the discussion in the Parliament. When our younger brother Jayant Chaudhary stood up to speak in Parliament regarding the Bharat Ratna award, an attempt was made to stop him, an attempt was made to humiliate him. Congress and SP should go door-to-door and apologise to the farmers of this area for this," he added.
PM Modi rakes up Katchatheevu issue
On the Katchatheevu Island issue, PM Modi said today, another anti-national act of Congress has come before the country.
"Katchatheevu is an island in Tamil Nadu, off the coast of India, between Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu and this island is extremely important from the perspective of national security. When the country became independent, we had this island, and it was an integral part of India but 4-5 decades ago, Congress said that this Island was of no use and cut off a part of Maa Bharti and separated it from India," the PM added.
The BJP has fielded Arun Govil from Meerut, the actor who played Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan in the 80s. The BJP also eyed Western UP with optimism to achieve its ambitious target of 370 seats on its own, despite facing setbacks in the last elections in the region. In 2014, the BJP secured 24 out of 27 seats in the region, which dwindled to 19 in 2019, with all eight seats going to the SP-BSP combined.
