Attacking the SP-BSP alliance, Modi said he had been the chief minister of Gujarat more than the terms of Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati as Uttar Pradesh chief ministers combined, and there was no blot of corruption on him.

Hitting out at BSP chief Mayawati for her remarks on the Alwar gangrape case, the prime minister asked her "not to shed crocodile tears" for the victim.

Referring to the encounter in Shopian district of Jammu and Kashmir Sunday morning, the prime minister wondered, "Will our jawans take EC's permission before opening fire at militants? Opposition kya khel bana rakha hai? (What drama is the opposition enacting)." 

He said it was surprising to note that the opposition parties were saying that elections were on and the security forces were opening fire at militants. (PTI)
