Raipur: BJP Prime Minister Candidate and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi targeted the Congress on day two of his election rallies in the poll-bound Chhattisgarh. Modi attacked the UPA who had questioned his humble beginnings and had commented that a tea-seller cannot be a Prime Minister. “It is for the people to decide whether a tea seller should be a PM. A tea-seller PM is better that a PM who sells the country, Modi said.
Modi lambasted the Congress for poor handling of the affairs in the country and said, “For corruption free India we need a Congress free India. He also took a dig at the Congress for showing resentment when Lata Mangeshkar praised Modi. “Don’t people have a right to air their view? But Congress was upset by Lata Mangeshkar. An upset Congress started saying that the award given to her should be taken back. Is this a democratic language?” he questioned.
Modi said, Taking a potshot at Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi yet again, Modi said, “These days the Shezada says he wants to change the system. I want to ask who governed the country for 60 years. It was Congress and it is the Congress that has made the system. Modi’s visit comes after state party unit workers demanded that the BJP leader extended his campaign to the states which are up for elections. The first phase of Chhattisgarh Assembly polls in 18 constituencies ended amidst a low voter turnout. There was no voter turnout in 42 polling booths in Sukma where polling booths are located inside security camps.
