Earlier in the day, PM Modi slammed the Congress, claiming that the party never forgets to bash him and that it even rejected the nomination of the country's first tribal woman President Droupadi Murmu.
He was speaking at an electoral rally in Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi district, where assembly elections will be place on November 17.
"Congress never forgets to abuse me daily...It even opposed the election of the country's first tribal woman President as it is only interested in the vote bank of tribals and not their welfare. The party also did not attend the swearing-in of the country's first Dalit chief information commissioner (CIC) despite getting an invitation in advance," he had stated.
