Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the opposition of engaging in "negative politics" and asserted that the entire nation now hopes that corruption, dynasty, and appeasement should "quit India".
Speaking at a ceremony dedicated to the the redevelopment of 508 railway stations, PM Modi alleged that a section of the opposition is "working on the principle that neither will they work nor let others work."
