MUMBAI: MVA top guns took potshots at PM Narendra Modi at INDIA bloc’s rally at BKC’s Pataka Maidan on Friday, with Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray leading the barrage saying the country had seen demonetisation in 2016 and would now see “de-Modination” on June 4. He said BJP was a garbage truck picking up rotten leaves – traitors – from everywhere, and Modi was trying to instil a false fear of Muslims in people.
Ahead of Monday’s voting in the city, he accused Modi of insensitively holding a road show where people had died hours earlier in a hoarding crash in Ghatkopar.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said Modi was following in Putin’s footsteps and accused the PM of not giving him insulin for 15 days in jail. NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar said people would lose their right to vote if Modi returned. Kejriwal said people should vote Modi out as otherwise he would put the entire opposition in jail. He said that if NDA won Amit Shah would soon become PM, after Modi turned 75.
Kejriwal said that people would have to give their answer to Modi’s politics of jail by voting. “I am going to be in jail on June 4, from there I will see the outcome of the polls, so if democracy is to be saved, people should reject Modi. If you want to see me in jail, then vote for Modi and if you want to see me as a free man, vote for the INDIA bloc,” he said.
