Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday took a swipe at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for bringing out a ”Black Paper” against the BJP-led NDA Government.
“When a child gets ready for some good occasion by wearing some nice clothes, a family member applies ‘Kaala Teeka’, to ward off an evil eye. Today, as the country is touching new heights of prosperity over the last ten years, an attempt has been made to put a ‘Kaala Teeka’, so that no one can cast an evil eye on it. I thank Kharge Ji a lot (for bringing out a Black Paper),” he said.
The PM was speaking in the Rajya Sabha when the Upper House was bidding farewell to the retiring members of the House.

Quoting ancient scriptures, Mr Modi explained that those who keep good company inculcate similar qualities, and those surrounded by bad company become flawed. He further added that water from a river remains worth drinking only when the river flows, and as soon as it meets the sea, it gets salty.
