Civil Supplies and Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the “fear of defeat has grown so intense that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has started making statements unbecoming of a leader of his stature”.
He remarked that the tone and content of Mr. Modi’s speeches suggest that the BJP is heading towards a shameful defeat in the Lok Sabha elections.
Mr. Reddy also said that he had never seen a Prime Minister openly targeting a specific community during public meetings. He accused the BJP of seeking votes based on religious lines, warning that this divisive approach threatens the secular fabric of the nation.
