SP supremo seeks '72-year' ban on Modi for 'shameful' speech
Attacking Prime Minister Modi for claiming that 40 TMC MLAs were in touch with him, Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav today said the PM should be "banned for 72 years" for his "shameful" speech. The Election Commission has recently barred several leaders including Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath and Punjab Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu from campaigning for 72 hours due to poll code violations.
Modi's speech reflects his black money mentality, said Akhilesh
"Vikas (development) is asking... Did you hear the shameful speech of Pradhanji (PM)? After losing the faith of 125 crore countrymen, he (Modi) is now relying on the unethical assurance of defection allegedly given by the 40 MLAs," Akhilesh said on Twitter. "This reflects his (Modi) black money mentality. He should be banned for not 72 hours but for 72 years," he said.
Didi, Dilli door hai: Modi attacks Mamata Banerjee
On the campaign trail in West Bengal's Serampore Lok Sabha seat in Hoogly district and Barrackpore constituency in North 24 Parganas, Modi assailed TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee over her prime ministerial ambitions, saying "Didi, Dilli door hai (Delhi is far away)." "Didi, even your MLAs will desert you when the results of this election are out," Modi had said.
Her real intention is to politically establish her nephew: Modi
"Your (Mamata's) 40 MLAs are in touch with me. All your MLAs will desert you once the BJP wins the election. Political ground has slipped from under your feet," Modi said. "With just a handful of seats, 'Didi' you can't reach Delhi as it's far away. Going to Delhi is an excuse. Her real intention is to politically establish her nephew," he said.
