'Learn from Adityanath where to run bulldozer...': Modi to INDIA
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday alleged that the Congress and the Samajwadi Party will run a bulldozer over the Ram Mandir, Ayodhya if they come to power. Addressing a rally at Barabanki, Uttar Pradesh, PM Modi hit out at the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance. The PM suggested that the opposition parties should learn from UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath about "where to run bulldozers."
Modi mounts attack on Congress
PM Modi claimed that the Congress's alleged plan to reverse the Supreme Court's judgment on Ram Mandir, Ayodhya could become a reality. "Some people may wonder how this can be possible. Don't be in any confusion...during the freedom struggle where there talks about dividing the country, then people used to say a country can't be divided. However, it happened, they did it. They can go to any extent; their track record is such," he added.
Modi accuses INDIA bloc of causing instability
During the rally, the PM also said that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance is working for the betterment of the country, while the INDIA bloc is trying to foment instability in the country. He added that the opposition alliance is "falling apart," as the elections move forward. "The BJP will score a hat-trick by winning three consecutive Lok Sabha elections," the PM said.

"The Samajwadi prince (Yadav) has found refuge under a new aunt (Banerjee). This new aunt is in Bengal. And this aunty has told the INDI alliance that I will support you but from the outside," PM Modi added. Notably, Yadav calls his former ally, BSP chief Mayawati, bua (aunt).
