AMROHA, UTTAR PRADESH – Prime Minister Narendra Modi, speaking to a crowd in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, criticized the opposition parties for their campaign tactics. He said they are like a movie that people have already rejected.
PM Modi accused them of using unfair tactics like nepotism (favoring family members), corruption, and trying to win over people by appeasing them. He also said they insult people’s faith during their campaigns. He pointed out that a Congress candidate had trouble saying ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, which is a patriotic slogan.
The Prime Minister also said that when a temple was built in Ayodhya, both the Samajwadi Party and the Congress refused to attend the ceremony. He accused them of disrespecting Hindu beliefs.
He added that on Ram Navami, a Hindu festival, a special ceremony was held for Lord Ram. But he said the Samajwadi Party insulted Lord Ram’s devotees by calling them hypocrites.
PM Modi’s words highlight the tense atmosphere ahead of the elections in Uttar Pradesh, with religious and political differences coming to the forefront.
