Furthermore, PM Modi highlighted instances where the opposition allegedly insulted people’s religious beliefs. He cited an incident where a Congress candidate had difficulty expressing support for a patriotic slogan, ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’.
The Prime Minister also denounced the absence of opposition leaders during the inauguration of a temple in Ayodhya, suggesting a lack of respect for Hindu sentiments. He criticized the opposition’s attitude towards the celebration of Hindu festivals, such as Ram Navami, accusing them of disrespecting devotees of Lord Ram.
