Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp critique of opposition parties on Friday during a public meeting in Bhubaneswar. Addressing BJP workers at a felicitation program upon his arrival at Biju Patnaik International Airport, Modi accused the opposition of running a “shop of lies and propaganda” to mislead the public and conspire against the nation.
“The opposition, angry over losing power at the center for over a decade, is spreading falsehoods. Their shop of lies has been operational for the last ten years and is now more aggressive,” he said.
Urges Vigilance Against Misinformation
The Prime Minister called on BJP workers and citizens to remain vigilant, counter misinformation, and raise awareness about the opposition’s alleged agenda.
“They consider power their birthright and blame the people for voting for someone else. This hunger for power has led them to mislead citizens and push the country onto a wrong path,” Modi remarked.
