PM Modi holds road show in Guwahati
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma received Prime Minister Modi at the airport as the electoral fervour grips the state with five seats of the state going to polls on April 19.
Asking Prime Minister Narendra Modi to not “communalise” the atmosphere just to win Gujarat polls, BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha on Monday adviced the PM to focus on his development model and promises of housing and employment to the poor that are yet to be fulfilled.
“Hon’ble Sir! Just to win elections anyhow, and that too at the fag end of the process, is it a must to come up with & endorse new, unsubstantiated & unbelievable stories everyday against political opponents? Now linking them to Pak High Commissioner & Generals?,” tweeted Sinha.
“Sir! Instead of new twists & turns, stories & cover ups, let’s go straight to the promises that we made, regarding housing, development, employment of youth, health, “Vikas model”,” he added.

“Lets stop communalising the atmosphere & go back to healthy politics & healthy elections. Jai Hind!” he said.
Sinha’s remarks come in the wake of Modi’s accusation that a group of Congress leaders met Pakistan’s High Commissioner at party leader Mani Shankar Aiyar’s residence in New Delhi, before the latter called him (Modi) “neech”.
Addressing an election rally at Sanand, Modi on Sunday said: “There was a meeting convened at Aiyar’s residence where Pakistan’s High Commissioner, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister, (former Vice President of India Hamid) Ansari and (former Prime Minister) Manmohan Singh were present. The meeting lasted three hours.”
“The next day Mani Shankar said I am a ‘neech’,” said the Prime Minister. Aiyar was promptly suspended from Congress’ primary membership for the remark, and he also apologised for his comment.
