Bhopal: On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi alleged that Congress hates him and wants him killed. While addressing a rally in Madhya Pradesh's Itarsi, the PM said: "Sochiye, Congress walon ko aapke Modi se itni nafrat ho gayi hai ki woh Modi ko maarne tak ke sapne dekhne lage hain (Think, Congress has so much hatred for me that it even dreams of killing your Modi)".

However, they are forgetting that people of Madhya Pradesh and India are batting for me, added the PM.

Hitting out at Congress' candidate Digvijaya Singh from Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency, the PM said, "Diggi raja lifted Zakir Naik on his shoulders and danced." "The Congress government called Naik to address police officers on terrorism. Sri Lanka has closed his TV channel after the blasts (on Easter Sunday). Earlier governments tried to project Naik as an ambassador of peace," he said.

"Doob maro Congress walon," added the PM. 

Zakir Naik is wanted in India on the charges of giving hate speeches, promoting enmity between communities, and inciting youths to take up terror activities. PM Modi further called the Congress as a "dishonest" party, claiming that it is only sincere in propagating corruption and dynastic rule.

"The Congress is a dishonest party at all levels. It is only honest in propagating dynastic rule and corruption. The BJP works in a mission mode for the overall development of the country. The Congress works for the welfare of new generation of dynasts," he said.
