Launching a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Thursday said he had not seen a PM like Mr. Modi who attacked Chief Ministers in so personal a manner.
Speaking in Solapur district’s Madha, where he was addressing a rally, the 82-year-old Mr. Pawar was scathing in his criticism of Mr. Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
“He is the first PM I have seen who visits a State and launches personal attacks on its Chief Ministers. People do not like this. The BJP will have to pay the cost of such ad hominem attacks in electoral results…I have listened to the speeches of all the Prime Ministers from Jawaharlal Nehru to Indira Gandhi. But the way in which Narendra Modi criticises local Chief Ministers is utterly wrong. No Prime Minister has criticised like this before,” Mr. Pawar said.
