Amid shakti row, Modi hits out at INDIA bloc

Hindustan Times  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday continued his tirade against the Opposition’s INDIA bloc over Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s “shakti” remarks, accusing its members of “abusing Hinduism”, even as he urged the people of Tamil Nadu to give his BJP-led National Democratic Alliance a massive mandate in the Lok Sabha elections. Rahul Gandhi’s “fight against shakti” remark, made on Sunday in Mumbai during the culmination of the Bharat Jodi Nyay Yatra, has evoked strong reactions from the Bharatiya Janata Party, with PM Modi saying that every mother and daughter was a form of “Shakti” for him. “The support that is being received by the BJP in Tamil Nadu is the talk of the town.” This is Modi’s sixth visit to Tamil Nadu since January ahead of the state facing the general elections on April 19 in the first of the seven phases. In the past, prime ministers visited Tamil Nadu only once or twice to campaign during elections but “since Modi has lost his sleep” he comes to Tamil Nadu often, the DMK Parliamentarian said, quipping that the people of the state are “ready to give him a permanent break”.
