1.40 pm: Modi compares Maoist attack on Congress leaders with Patna serial blasts. Let the political pundits in Delhi compare the behaviour of CM Raman Singh after Maoist attack with CM Nitish Kumar after Patna serial blasts. Modi says, while Raman Singh went to the homes of each Congress leader killed in Maoist attack, after the Patna serial blasts, in which the terrorists had targeted to blow up the dais to kill all BJP leaders, CM Nitish Kumar did not have an iota of remorse on his face. He attended his party's conclave in Rajgir, where sumptuous dishes were served, and indulged in pure politics. Let the whole of India compare the behaviour of these two chief ministers, said Modi.

3:42 pm: Tell me, can a run a family of five for Rs 28 a day? The government in Delhi says, if you earn Rs 28 a day, you are no more poor. One of their leaders said, he gets stomachful of meal for Rs 5 in Mumbai. Do you get tea for Rs 5, forget a meal?, asks Modi.
