Known for mounting blistering attacks on their political adversaries, PM Modi in an interview to the CNN News 18 went all guns blazing against his opponents in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In a stinging attack against Congress, Modi alleged that Congress’ campaign slogan ‘Ab Nyay Hoga’ is a candid admission of the fact that they meted out injustices for 60 years of their rule.

Talking about the Congress’ ‘Ab Nyay Hoga’ campaign PM Modi asked, “Will the victims of the 1984 Sikh genocide, Triple Talaq victims, Farmers in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh who were promised of loan waivers within 10 days but are yet to receive it, Bhopal Gas tragedy survivors will get justice? Hundreds perished in the tragedy but your(Congress) government provided arrangements for the perpetrators to escape.”

PM Modi slammed Dynasty politics, calling it bad for the country. Modi launched a frontal attack against Rahul Gandhi asserting that the way the Congress President ran away from the Amethi, considered as a Congress bastion, is an issue that should be discussed. In a strong offensive against the Gandhi scion, PM Modi asserted that though Rahul’s advisors advised him to drop the Rafale issue, he continued his tirade against it in an attempt to wash away his father’s Bofors stains.

“The National Herald Case, cases of corruption against Lalu Prasad Yadav…these all cases were filed before BJP came to power. Whatever was put in cold storage, we thought to bring it out and let justice prevail. Both son and mother are out on bail. Criminals need bails, not honest citizens,” Modi said.

PM Modi also attacked the Mahagathbandhan leaders claiming that those who were arch-enemies of one another are uniting today because they fear their fading relevance. Attacking Mayawati for her exhortations to the Muslim community to vote for her party, PM Modi asserted that Mayawati is a sinking ship who is trying to stay afloat by garnering support from Muslims.

“I am not worried about Mayawati. Her ship is sinking. She is looking for support from Muslims to stay afloat,” says @narendramodi in an exclusive interview. #ModiSpeaksToNews18 pic.twitter.com/cU6mRMq6YE — News18.com (@news18dotcom) April 9, 2019
