PM Modi: Today false narratives are being weaved. Be it on farm laws, CAA or labour laws. Such rumours aim to create political instability. Sometimes they say citizenship will be snatched, sometimes it's farmers' land, but they're white lies. BJP workers need to make people aware.
आज गलत नरैटिव बनाए जाते हैं-
कभी CAA को लेकर,
कभी कृषि कानूनों को लेकर,
कभी लेबर लॉ को लेकर,
बीजेपी के प्रत्येक कार्यकर्ता को समझना होगा कि इसके पीछे सोची-समझी राजनीति है, ये एक बहुत बड़ा षड़यंत्र है।

PM Modi: If BJP wins polls, it's called 'poll wining machine', but if others win, there's appreciation. People who say we're a 'poll winning machine' don't understand India's Constitution. Truth is that BJP is not a 'poll winning machine', but a movement that connects with people.
