"PM Modi considers himself as 'Tismarkhan'…He is under the wrong impression. It is the people who are real Tismarkhan. He (PM) is a dictator…If he becomes PM for the third term, people will not be allowed to say anything at all", said the Congress president.
He said, "This election is basically people vs Modi… not Rahul vs Modi."
The Congress president said he respects Narendra Modi as he is Prime Minister, but Mr. Modi does not respect Congress leaders.
Mr. Kharge alleged that PM Modi hugs rich people and not poor people.
