Prime Minister on Friday addresses a rally came amid the intensifying political climate ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections. The PM launched a strong attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government. Modi promised a decisive crackdown on AAP’s alleged corruption.  He said that the CAG report, which highlights the party’s scams, would be presented in the first Assembly session. He accused AAP of suppressing the truth about its wrongdoings and said the people of Delhi were growing increasingly disillusioned with the party.

The prime minister said that, with just days left before voting, the people of Delhi had made up their minds to oust AAP and bring the BJP with a resounding majority. He said that the true face of the AAP government would soon be exposed, saying that AAP leaders were spreading lies, particularly in slum areas. In contrast, Modi highlighted the Modi government’s efforts to build permanent housing for slum dwellers.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized Congress leader Sonia Gandhi for her comment on President Droupadi Murmu. After the President’s speech to Parliament, Sonia Gandhi said the President was “getting very tired” and called her a “poor thing”. The President’s office and many others found this comment to be in poor taste and unnecessary.
