Chennai: Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing a rally in Tamil Nadu slammed the Opposition saying that hatred is reaching new levels with people competing as to who will abuse Modi most. From abusing my family to talking about killing me, the Opposition has stooped to a low level but it won’t deter me from doing my work, said PM Modi in a sharp attack.

PM Modi went on to say, “They have a competition- who will abuse Modi most. Some abuse me and my family, some mock my poverty, some abuse my lower caste origins. Now one Congress leader talks of killing Modi but I’m not bothered, I’m here to do my work.”
