Addressing the rally in Varanasi ahead of the seventh phase poll-bound, PM Modi took a dig over oppositions, he said "Blind opposition, continuous opposition, acute frustration & negativity have become their political ideology. For past 2 yrs, free ration is being made available to over 80 cr poor, Dalits, backward, tribals. The entire world is amazed. But I am happy that the poor is happy."
"When some challenges crop up before the nation, these dynasts look for their political interest in it. If India's security forces & people fight a crisis, they do everything to make situation more critical. We saw this during pandemic &today during #Ukraine crisis" he added.
