News 18  

Election 2019: Hinting at an alleged conspiracy behind denying his chopper permission to land, former Madhya Pradesh chief minister warned the “sycophant” collector of dire consequence once BJP comes to power. A week after getting EC notice for using an expletive against Congress president Rahul Gandhi, BJP’s Himachal Pradesh chief Satpal Singh Satti has made another controversial comment. Addressing a gathering in Mandi, he said, “Those who’ll point fingers at PM Modi, their hands will be chopped off.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi has slammed Mamata Banerjee for supporting “goons” and making one last effort to get power by “renting” criminals. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi during a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh’s Fatehpur said asked voters to help remove politics of divisiveness and negativity and think of future generations and save the country.
