Fitting Reply To Divisive Politics: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed thanks to the people of Karnataka for not just making the BJP the single largest party in the State but also for breaking the perception “spread by the Congress party” that the BJP was somehow a north Indian, Hindi-speaking party, with no hold in the south.

Mr. Modi launched a fierce attack on the Trinamool Congress-led government in West Bengal over the violence during the panchayat polls in the State.
