Elections 2019 LIVE: Surprised to See Brother, Sister's Violent Reaction to PM's True Comments, Says BJP

The five-year tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi government is a sad story of governance and accountability failure, former prime minister Manmohan Singh told PTI.

On chief minister Mamata Banerjee being greeted with ‘Jai Sri Ram’ slogan, Union minister Prakash Javadekar said, “I wonder why Mamata is against everything that BJP says. Jai Shi Ram is not a political slogan but it’s a slogan repeated and followed by everyone in this country.”

Prakash Javadekar: Congress is getting desperate as eight out of ten people support PM Modi. I am surprised to see the violent reaction of both sister and brother (referring to Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi) on a true statement made by Prime Minister. Rahul Gandhi is calling names and cursing Modi because of dynast arrogance, and think power is their birth right.

Briefing the media, Union minister Prakash Javadekar said, “They (Congress) are playing politics of abuses. Gandhi’s are rattled and they can’t tolerate it. Rajiv Gandhi defended the 1984 riots. People of the country know everything. After four phases of polling, it is clear that Congress is losing this election.”

Calling PM Modi’s remark on Rajiv Gandhi as “disgraceful”, Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu tweeted, “If you cannot respect the living, at least learn to respect those who died for the country... in line of duty.

Arvind Kejriwal says, "Modiji has insulted the Army as no one has done before. If such an attack happens on any other chief minister, will the police commissioner save his job? Prime Minister himself should resign after such an incident. For this attack, police are not responsible, BJP and Narendra Modi are responsible."

BJP is Violating MCC Repeatedly: Bhupesh Baghel | Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said, “Defence officers say not to ask for votes in their name. Election Commission also says not to use Armed forces for this purpose. But they're violating Model Code of Conduct repeatedly. This shows BJP has nothing to say and they're contesting elections in the name of pseudo-nationalism.”

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a press conference said, "The attack was unleashed on me after I questioned the relationship between Modi and Pakistan, in all the interviews I give to media. Why did Pakistan attack Pulwama? We killed 300 Pakistanis and still Imran Khan says, “Make Modi the Prime Minister again. I would appeal to all Modi bakhts to think of the country's security.”

Congress leader Anand Sharma said, "PM Modi's derogatory and outrageous statement on India's Martyred Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi deserves the strongest condemnation. Staring at defeat he is rattled. Modi will be remembered for dragging the political discourse to the gutter level."

Attack was Planned in BJP Office: Kejriwal | Arvind Kejriwal: All preparations for the humla (attack) was done in the BJP office. After all, what can Delhi police do? When institutions like Election Commission does nothing.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bhadohi: We don't disrespect anyone's religious faith we just follow the constitution. The constitution provides for equal rights to both men & women.

Addressing a poll rally in Bhadohi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "The country has seen 4 types of parties, 4 types of governance, 4 types of political culture. First - Naampanthi, second - Vaampanthi, third - Daam aur Damapanthi and the fourth which has been brought by us - Vikaspanthi."

They tried to topple our government. They disqualified, in a wrong way, our 21 MLAs. They bought one MLA in Bawana and another three days before. His is an attack on the people of Delhi. Will fight for my country till last breath: Kejriwal

Whether there was a lapse or was it pre-planned? There is a conspiracy. There cannot be lapses for nine times. Since we have entered politics, this is happening. They cannot tolerate an ‘Aam Aadmi’ in politics. There were raid in my office. Even in my bedroom. There are 33 cases filed against me: Arvind Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, during a press conference, said, "In the past 5 years, this is the 9th attack. After becoming chief minister it is the 5th attack. The security of the chief minister in the hands of the opposition party. In the hands of the BJP unlike in other states. Therefore, the responsibility is on BJP government. 

Addressing the public rally, PM Modi said, "Recently, Massod Azhar was designated as a terrorist by the United Nations and now Pakistan who was feeding Azhar will now have to act against him. The mahamilawat is saying that because of elections Modi has got Masood Azhar sanctioned from the UN. It has now become a habit of the opposition to see everything with a political lense."

Who would have thought that in Saudi Arab where our people go for Haj. Many people go there from our country but few people who did something wrong were jailed there. Recently, I requested the crown prince of Saudi Arabia to return these 850 people back home before the holy month of Ramzan. He accepted my request and agreed to return them to India: PM Modi at a rally in Bhadohi.

Mahamilawati means chaos and corruption. Only the BJP can effectively service up. If a terrorist attack happens in the country feel sad. When the bodies of our brave soldiers return home wrapped in the national flag whole country feels sad. But when surgical strikes happen to avenge them the people of the country feel proud: PM Modi

Slamming Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his 'Corrupt no. 1' jibe at Rajiv Gandhi, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi tweeted, "The Prime Minister, who asks for votes in the name of martyrs and then insults their martyrdom, yesterday insulted a virtuous man and his martyrdom. The people of Amethi, for whom Rajiv Gandhi gave up his life, will give him a befitting reply for this insult. Yes, Modi ji, this country does not forgive deceitful people."

शहीदों के नाम पर वोट माँगकर उनकी शहादत को अपमानित करने वाले प्रधानमंत्री ने कल अपनी बेलगाम सनक में एक नेक और पाक इंसान की शहादत का निरादर किया। जवाब अमेठी की जनता देगी जिनके लिए राजीव गांधी ने अपनी जान दी। हाँ मोदीजी ‘यह देश धोकेबाज़ी को कभी माफ नहीं करता’।
