Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Opposition, saying they were criticising him as he had “blocked all routes of corruption” and the “ hungama over petty issues” stemmed from this.

‘Our govt. stopped black marketing’ Addressing a >gathering of farmers in the border district of Belagav i, he said his government had stopped “ chor bazaar ” (black market) in many sectors, citing the fertilizer manufacturing and distribution as an example.

Without invoking the name of any political party or any specific issue, he said: “Now even the Opposition which finds silly reasons to attack us and play politics over it have not made even a false allegation of corruption against us. The chor bazaarwale are angry and all these hungama over petty issues is because of it,” the Prime Minister said.
