Opposition unable to complain about inflation now: PM woos Delhi

"Delhiites have josh of Punjab Haryana, sweetness of Pooranchal, excitement of the North east and gentleness of the South," he said addressing a huge gathering at Ramlila Maidan here in support of the candidates of the BJP for the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi.

"Inflation used to be on a rise, it is now under control," the PM said.

"The poor have access to houses, toilets, electricity and are given benefits of Ayushman Bharat Yojana," he said.

"Opposition is unable to speak about inflation, even if they want to," he said.

In a direct attack on the AAP government in Delhi, Mr Modi said the Delhi government was blocking central schemes.

Taking up a very important issue of rising pollution in the national capital, Mr Modi said: "The major challenge of Delhi is pollution. The solution to pollution is in utilising better technology and modern ways to use transport."

To the discomfort caused to the people on his movement in NCR region, he said: "I have come here from among you people, so staying in bulletproof walls is not my hobby or habit. When there is an opportunity, I try to put this wall aside."

Mr Modi also raised about cleaning Yamuna and said work has started for a 'aviral Yamuna'.

Amid the echoes of 'Modi Modi', the Prime Minister said 'inspector-raj' has been removed after the GST was brought about his government.

Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman and BJP candidates for Delhi constituencies were also present on the dais.
