PM Modi has launched a vehement political campaign to sweep the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. In the streak, he organised a big fat rally in UP’s Meerut on Sunday. He ripped into the Opposition and said that some people were rattled because he was taking action against corruption, an apparent jibe at the recent arrests of INDIA bloc leaders by the central agencies.

The BJP has launched a fresh attack on the Congress over Katchatheevu Island. PM Modi, during his Meerut rally, tore into the Congress for giving away Katchatheevu to Sri Lanka in 1974. "Another anti-India conduct of the Congress has been unveiled today. The island of Katchatheevu, which lies between India and Sri Lanka and is extremely important from the perspective of national security, was given away by Congress after independence. India is still paying for the misdoings of the Congress government," he said.
