Prime Minister Narendra Modi focused on the Bharatiya Janata Party manifesto, his work for people welfare and development initiatives as he made a vote appeal at an election rally in Agartala on the eve of the first of the multi-phased Lok Sabha election in India. He started greeting crowds on the occasion of Rama Navami, referring to construction of the Ram temple as “ending a 500-year-long impasse”.
Mr. Modi came down heavily on the alleged opportunistic politics of the Congress and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) for greed of power and indulging in corruption. “These parties are fighting in alliance in Tripura and abusing each other in Kerala,” he said, wondering how such a formation could work.
