Intensifying his attack against the Opposition INDIA bloc, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday ridiculed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for “selling fake videos” through his "mohabbat ki dukaan"  and exhorted the voters to punish NCP chief Sharad Pawar for his “failure" to keep his 2009 poll promise of bringing water to Solapur district which continues water shortages. 

On the second day of his election tour of Maharashtra where he addressed rallies at Madha in western Maharashtra, Dharashiv (Osmanabad) and Latur in Marathwada, Modi took a nasty dig at Rahul Gandhi said that “fake videos are being sold in "mohabbat ki dukaan" and the people would shut these shops after the elections.

 Alluding to catch phrase “nafrat ke bazaar me mohabbat ki dukan” used  often by Rahul during his “Bharat Jodo Yatra” and “Bharat Jodi Nay Yatra”, Modi said: “Modi is tirelessly working day and night to change your lives, while the opposition, the INDIA bloc, is using all their strength to change Modi instead. Those whose scams I've halted, will they not be furious with Modi? Will they not hurl abuses at him?”

 “They (the Opposition leaders) are busy scaring you, sometimes in the name of democracy, sometimes in the name of the Constitution, sometimes in the name of reservation,” Modi said addressing rallies in Maharashtra,” he  said.

  “Now they've even opened a shop for fake videos. Serious allegations have been made against the Congress party and its members for creating fake videos. I ask you, should the shops of those selling such lies be closed or not?,” he asked, while addressing an election rally at Dharashiv which was previously known as Osmanabad.

 Singling out Pawar for a vicious attack at Madha in western Maharashtra from where he had been elected to Lok Sabha in 2009, Modi claimed that the NCP chief had not done anything for drought-prone areas like Solapur also for farmers across the country when he was the Union Agriculture Minister.
