Modi begins campaign with scathing attack on opposition
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched his poll campaign for the Lok Sabha elections with a blistering attack on the opposition as he kept his focus on “nationalism”, saying that Pakistan wanted him to lose the polls.
Modi kicked off his campaign from Meerut in the politically crucial state of Uttar Pradesh and followed it with back-to-back rallies in Rudrapur in Uttarakhand and Akhnoor in Jammu and Kashmir.
Slamming the opposition parties for seeking proof for the 2016 surgical strikes and the recent air strikes in Pakistan’s Balakot, the Prime Minister claimed that some of them have become heroes in Pakistan while the country needed a Hindustani hero.
