New Delhi: Prime Minister on Saturday made a reference to United States President Barack Obama's visit during his poll campaign for the Delhi Assembly elections, inviting sharp criticism from the Aam Aadmi Party. Modi said India has emerged as a strong country for the world to contend with.
"Some people are raising a controversy over President Obama's visit. I want to ask my critics if Obama had come and there was nothing else than the January 26 programme then would have opponents spared us?" he asked. Addressing an election rally in Vishwas Nagar here, the Prime Minister asked the people of Delhi to vote for a BJP government “as it can work in tandem with the Centre.”
"Elect a government with whom I can work shoulder to shoulder towards making a positive difference in your lives," Modi said. Making an indirect attack on the Aam Aadmi Party, he said: "People can make a mistake once, but not again and again.” “Last year, those whom you voted, back-stabbed you and shattered your dreams," the Prime Minister said.
Earlier this week, BJP's chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi too invoked the name of Obama. “We want a Delhi where we can live to the highest point along with the entire nation. Today President Obama's visit has made India fly, isn't it?” Bedi said.
