Speaking on the polls, Ajmal said that he is a part of all the alliances which stand against Prime Minister Modi. “We stand with all the anti-Modi alliances and all of us will together defeat Modi and take him out of the country.”
The leader didn’t stop there, he further said “Modi ji will thereafter open a tea shop somewhere, and will also sell pakodas”.
The statement was made by Ajmal in Chirang, Assam. The statement has spurred a row.
This comes a day after BJP moved the Election Commission seeking action against Rahul Gandhi for his "abusive" and "completely untrue" comments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing the Congress president of attributing words to the Supreme Court in the Rafale case that it never said.
Senior BJP leader and Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman also expressed her party's "disappointment" with the poll watchdog, saying it has looked the other way despite their repeated pleas to it against Gandhi for his "baseless" allegations against Modi.
A BJP delegation, including Sitharaman, Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and its media head Anil Baluni, submitted to the EC a memorandum in which the saffron party also accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) of poll rigging in West Bengal during the first phase of polling of the general election Thursday.
