He complimented the leaders of various opposition parties including National Conference (NC) president, Farooq Abdullah and former Deputy Chief Minister, Muzaffar Hussain Baig for praising Modi during the Prime Minister’s public rally at Maulana Azad Stadium on Tuesday.

“The past rulers oppressed the people and kept them hostage while the money pumped for the welfare of the poor was looted over the past 70 years. Time has changed with Modi’s Mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’,” he said.
