"But, some people in the Rajya Sabha are calling Jharkhand a hub of lynching. Is this fair? Why are they insulting a state.None of us have the right to insult the state of Jharkhand," he said.
He questioned the negativity around use of EVMs in polling.
" Those opposing EVMs are not only opposed to EVMs.They have problems with technology, digital transactions, Aadhaar, GST, Bhim App," he said.
"Why such negativity? This negativity was one of the chief reasons why some parties have not been able to win people's trust," he said.
Attacking the Congress party over the Lok Sabha poll victory of the BJP, Modi said: "My friends in the Congress, they have not been able to digest victory. They have not been able to accept defeat. I do not consider this to be a healthy sign in a democracy."
