Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) president Sharad Pawar on April 2 said the mood of the people has changed ahead of the Lok Sabha polls and the sentiment is now clearly against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is seeking a third term in office.
Addressing a press conference in Nagpur, Mr. Pawar said Mr. Modi attacked the Indira Gandhi government for renouncing claim on a "small" island (Katchatheevu) and giving it to Sri Lanka, but he is silent on China encroaching on large tracts of Indian land.
To a query on China unilaterally renaming places in Arunachal Pradesh, the former defence minister said, “Our government is not taking national interests seriously”.
