PM Modi in Amethi brutally slammed opposition, "Vote bank politics & 'parivaarvadi', done by many political parties, has run the nation into a loss. These leaders don't hesitate even if this politics goes against the benefit of the nation. They insult our Army & police forces, as then their vote bank flourishes" he said.
Speaking on the verdict of the 2008 Ahmedabad series blast case, he added "even if enemies of humanity got a death sentence, these parties did not dare to welcome the verdict, due to the fear of vote bank. Do such people deserve to come in power?"
