MYSURU: Gujarat MLA  and Dalit leader Jignesh Mevani on Wednesday dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold a four-minute debate on achievements in the last four years of his government.

Interacting with media persons here, Mevani, challenged Modi barely a day after the latter accepted a similar dare thrown at him by Congress chief Rahul Gandhi.

Mevani said, Modi should have spoken about promises he had made — on checking unemployment, bailing out farmers from crises-like situations, reducing atrocities against Dalits and on providing shelter to all at the rate of 30 lakh to 40 lakh dwellings per annum.

While calling BJP and RSS, “fascists and communal forces”, Mevani said that he was not in favour of any political party.He said that he supported every civilian movement.
