VISAKHAPATNAM (AP), March 1: Firing a fresh salvo at the opposition parties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday accused them of indulging in petty politics that is benefiting the enemy and said their only agenda was to “remove Modi” rather than focusing on the country’s growth.
“It is the country’s misfortune during this time when the whole world is seeking answers from Pakistan, some in India are giving statements that will weaken the morale of the country’s security forces,” Modi said, addressing a rally organised by the BJP here.
“They should introspect what they are talking that is being lauded in Pakistan Parliament and used to target India,” he said in an apparent reference to ongoing tensions between the two countries following the February 26 air strikes by the Indian Air Force and Pakistan capturing an IAF pilot the next day.
“Why are the parties of mahamilavat (highly adulterated) indulging in petty politics that is benefiting
the enemy. In their hatred for Modi, they have started hating the country,” Modi charged.
Training his guns against his political opponents, Modi said they were keen on removing him because he had ushered in positive change in the lives of the poor, farmers and the oppressed.
“They also want to remove Modi because he is initiating action against touts and agents. Rather than having any agenda for the (growth of the) country, they are keen on only removing Modi,” the Prime Minister said. (AGENCIES)
