VH terms PM Modi's call to light lamps as publicity stunt

Hyderabad: Criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call of lightening lamp on Sunday night, former MP V Hanumantha Rao termed it as a publicity stunt.

Addressing the media, he alleged that the Prime Minister has been using this for his party's publicity.

The foundation day of BJP would be celebrated on April 6 and this was the reason behind lighting of lamps.

He said professionals like doctors, para medical and other health staff and police and journalists are fighting against coronavirus.
