Opposition Meet A Photo Op, Bid To Escape Action Against Corruption: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the parties are now prostrating in front of the same people that they used to call their enemies and curse earlier.

Answering a party worker's question on the opposition's unity efforts, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today that BJP workers should not get angry at "such people" and pity them instead. 

Addressing BJP's booth-level workers under the party's "Mera Booth Sabse Majboot" campaign in Madhya Pradesh, where elections are due later this year, PM Modi dismissed the mega opposition meet in Patna as a photo-op and said the opposition parties are looking even more nervous than they did in 2014 and 2019. 

He said the parties are coming together because they "can see the bars of prison" and their common minimum programme is to escape action against corruption

"You remember the situation in 2014 and 2019, right? The parties staunchly opposed to the BJP were opposing us even then but we did not see the kind of nervousness we are seeing now. The parties are now prostrating in front of the same people that they used to call their enemies and curse viciously earlier," the Prime Minister said in Hindi.
