PM Modi’s Accusation Towards Congress

For this, Modi also referred to a statement made by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

PM Modi said, “This is an urban Naxal mindset, they won’t even spare your mother and sister’s mangalsutra. They will take it away.

The extent to which they will go, they will take away everything.”
