The prime minister Modi said it is quite natural that there would be ideological differences among political parties on different issues,and that they have the right to express their views and resort to agitation.
“During my tenure as Chief Minister and PM, I saw different colours of politics. I admit that a constructive opposition is normal in a democracy. There can be differences of opinion on any decision,” he said.
PM Modi said everyone, however, can now feel a big difference in the manner protests are organised. “The spirit of the Constitution iscrushed and all the norms of democracy are rejected.” The PM said that from the very beginning, the opposition parties were not ready to accept the fact that people gave their mandate to the BJP-led NDA.
“Denied of power for the last decade, such parties are now filled with so much anger that they do not hesitate to conspire against the country and its people. They are misleading people with ‘jhoot aur afwah ki dukan’ (lies and rumours),” he said.
