Declaring his rivals and critics "full of negativity", the Prime Minister said "some people don't want to see India grow" and also warned against the glorification of corruption.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at his critics and rivals Thursday as he delivered his Independence Day address to the nation from the ramparts of Delhi's Red Fort. Declaring them "full of negativity", the Prime Minister said "some people do not want to see India grow".
"People need to understand that a few people with a negative mindset (are) conspiring to create imbalance in country. Nepotism and casteism are harming society... we have to get rid of these from politics," the Prime Minister said in comments seen as jabs against fierce rivals Congress.
The PM and his BJP frequently attack the "dynastic politics" of the Congress and its 'first family' - the Gandhis - accusing the party and the family of not having the country's interest at heart.
