PM Modi, Shah save democracy fast mocked by congress

New Delhi, April 12: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah on Thursday led their party MPs across the country for a 'save democracy fast and protest' against the washout of the second part of Parliament's Budget Session, which they blamed on the Congress.

During the "Loktantra Bachao Upvaas and Dharna" that begun at 10 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m., the Prime Minister inaugurated the 10th edition of Defence Expo at Tiruvidanthai near Chennai.

Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said: "Mr. Prime Minister, best wishes for your fast."

He attached Modi's travel schedule in Tamil Nadu, that showed that the Prime Minister would be having his breakfast on board a IAF BBJ at 6.40 a.m. The opposition party said that after his departure from Chennai at 2.25 p.m, he will have lunch on board.

The Congress spokesperson challenged the Prime Minister to prove him otherwise. "Now, tell us that this is a lie." "Now, 'jumla' fast gets over in an hour and feast after that. Good wishes for your fake fast," he added.
