'Bears Muslim League Imprint': PM Modi Shreds Congress Manifesto in Saharanpur

Launching a volley against the Congress with less than two weeks to go for the Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the party's manifesto is a bundle of lies and every page of the document reeks of attempts to tear India apart.

Addressing a rally in Rajasthan's Ajmer on Saturday - with the Congress also holding an event in nearby Jaipur to "publicly launch" its manifesto - the PM said that the party's thoughts in the manifesto resemble those of the Muslim League during the pre-Independence period.

"The Congress issued a bundle of lies in the form of its manifesto which has unmasked the party. Every page reeks of attempts to tear India apart. It reflects the thoughts that the Muslim League had before Independence. The Congress wants to impose the Muslim League's thoughts from that era on the India of today. And what is remaining of the manifesto is dominated by communist and leftist thoughts," PM Modi said in Hindi.
