He also announced that the free ration scheme for “80 crore poor persons” in the country would be extended for another five years.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the Congress leaders, their "dialogues" and their announcements are all "filmy" as he took a jibe at 'tear clothes' remark of Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Kamal Nath.
Speaking at a rally at Ratlam in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh ahead of November 17 assembly elections, he also announced that the free ration scheme for "80 crore poor persons" in the country would be extended for another five years.
“The Congress leaders are filmy, their dialogues are filmy, their announcements are filmy, their characters too are filmy, and when a character is filmy, then obviously the scene too will be filmy,” he said.
"A competition of tearing clothes is going on between two Congress leaders,” Mr. Modi said, in an apparent jibe at Nath's statement referring to veteran Congress leader Digvijaya Singh.
This was only a "trailer," the prime minister said.
“After the victory of the BJP on December 3 (when votes will be counted), the real picture of Congress will be seen here, the real conflict within the Congress will unfold,” he said.
If Congress leaders get an opportunity, they tear the clothes of the public, the prime minister added.
