Elections 2019: Make stand on Kashmir clear, Narendra Modi tells Sharad Pawar

Live Mint  

Mumbai: The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the opposition Congress kept up the tempo of the campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections with Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacking the Nationalist Congress Party at a public meeting in Ahmednagar in western Maharashtra and Congress president Rahul Gandhi taking a veiled dig at Modi’s radio talk programme during his rallies in Tamil Nadu. The Prime Minister asked Pawar to make his position clear on National Conference’s stand on a separate prime minister for Jammu and Kashmir and the party chief Farooq Abdullah’s statement that the state would secede if Article 370 was scrapped. The Congress president accused Modi of not having the “decency”, to listen to Tamil Nadu’s farmers when they protested in Delhi in 2017 and said he, however, had met them. The Congress president claimed that demonetisation and the goods and services tax had destroyed the small and medium industries in Tamil Nadu and 30,000 MSMEs had to shut down and “50 lakh jobs were lost”.
