Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister Dr. G. Parameshwar has opined that the nation will suffer If Modi, who crafted the chain of lies in the last four-and-a-half years, does not get replaced in the next Lok Sabha polls.  

Parameshwar was speaking after participating at the Gandhi Jayanti programme on the premises of the Congress office located at Race Course Road in Bengaluru.

Narendra Modi has been prime minister for four and a half years but the economical condition of the country is not been improved. Today, there is an argument between Gandhi and Modi. But, Gandhiji’s arguments are being analyzed as a model for the world. Gandhiji’s arguments promote equality, universal brotherhood, and development of the country. Whereas, Modi's argument is against all these things. He creates inequality between religions. How can his argument become better when he does not tolerate any religion? he asked.

KPCC president Ishwar Khandre, MLA Ramalinga Reddy, Lakshmi Hebbalkar and others were present.
