Modi's development agenda has now changed to polarisation: NCP

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, BSP supremo Mayawati and others have also attacked Modi over Kabristan-Shamshaan remark.

The opposition stepped up its relentless attack on Narendra Modi's Kabristan-Shamshaan remark on Sunday with the Nationalist Congress Party saying that the Prime Minister is now straying from his development agenda to that of polarisation.

NCP leader Tariq Anwar told ANI that the Prime Minister is 'worried' and therefore resorting to his old tactic of 'communalism and polarisation'.

On Saturday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav had trained his gun at Modi over Kabristan-Shamshaan remark and called tyhe BJP 'communal'.

"PM kabristan aur shamshaan ki baat kar rahe hain, hum laptop aur smartphone ki baat kar rahe hain (The PM is talking about kabristan and shamshaan and we are talking about smartphone and laptop)," CM Akhilesh said at an election rally in Sidharthnagar, UP.

Recently, Modi had created a political stir when he accused the rival SP of indulging in caste and communal politics.

"If a Kabristan is built in a village, so should there be a Shamshaan. If there is electricity in Ramzan, it should also be there on Diwali; there should be no discrimination," the PM had said at an election rally in UP.
