Launching a scathing attack on BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate, NCP chief Sharad Pawar has said that Narendra Modi needs to be treated in a “mental hospital for talking rubbish”.
“Modi must be deranged as he talks rubbish and he is needs to be treated in a mental hospital,” the Union Agriculture Minister said on Sunday at a rally at Ghanswangi, while campaigning for NCP candidate Vijay Bhamble.
He said Mr. Modi does not know about the sacrifices of Congress leaders in the freedom struggle. “Modi is talking about Congress mukt Bharat. Does Modi know the sacrifice and contribution of the Congress in the freedom struggle? Because of Congress’ ideology, we got freedom,” Mr. Pawar said.
Attacking Mr. Modi for the 2002 Gujarat riots, Mr. Pawar said, “Members of minority community and Congress ex-MP Ahsan Jaffari were killed in Gulbarga society, which is only 20 km from Ahmedabad where the carnage happened, but Mr Modi neither visited the victims’ family nor bothered about them.”
He said Mr. Modi is “dangerous for the country”.
Mr. Pawar also said that the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate is not bothered about the problems of rain and hailstorm affected people in Maharashtra.
