Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave some examples naming a number of states which have rejected Congress' rule years ago.
He said, "Nagaland voted for Congress 24 years ago, Odisha voted for you 27 years ago... you won with full majority in Goa 28 years ago. In 1988, Tripura voted for Congress. West Bengal voted for Congress in 1972. You take credit for the creation of Telangana but the public did not accept you even there."
