In view of the Gujarat assembly elections, all political parties have entered the fray. Election campaigning is going on in full swing in Gujarat.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Surendranagar on Monday (November 21). PM Modi appeared aggressive on Congress in his speech. He reminded of the indecent words used by the Congress leaders for him. Said, ‘ They even called me a sewer worm, a wretch and a dealer of death. They (Congress) said that they will show their status. But I drink insult.
The war of words has intensified during the Gujarat election campaign
Congress leader Madhusudan Mistry had said that the Prime Minister will show Modi his worth in the Gujarat elections. PM Modi has retaliated on this statement of his. The Prime Minister also reminded of the previous statement of Congress leaders. In which former Congress President Sonia Gandhi was also reminded of being called ‘merchant of death’.
Mani Shankar’s ‘vile’ statement changed the course of the election
At the Surendranagar rally, PM Modi told the people present there, ‘I have no status. Our status is just to provide service. Saying so, he gave a befitting reply to Madhusudan Mistry. Remind you, during the 2017 Gujarat Assembly elections, senior Congress leader and former Union Minister Manishankar Aiyar called Prime Minister Modi ‘neech’. After this statement of his, the trend of Gujarat elections was changed.
“In the past, the Congress had used words like ‘neech aadmi’, ‘maut ka saudagar’ and ‘naali ka keeda’ for me. Now, instead of talking about development during polls, Congress leaders are saying they will show Modi his aukat,” he said.
“They can do it but they are walking with those who stalled the Narmada dam project for 40 years,” PM Modi said referring to Narmada Bachao Andolan spearhead Medha Patkar joining the Rahul Gandhi-led Bharat Jodo Yatra in Maharashtra recently.
“The people of Gujarat have decided to punish those who stalled the Narmada dam project for 40 years,” he went on to add.
