‘An obstructive side stalling development’: PM Modi slams opposition

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday criticized the opposition, claiming they have shifted from their role as "virodh paksh" (opposition) to an "avrodh paksh" (obstructionist side) that is undermining the dignity of the Constitution and conspiring to divide India. Addressing the 151st birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Modi warned that the threat of "Dimagi Naxals" still exists despite Naxalism being largely eradicated from the country.

During his speech at the Parade Ground near the Statue of Unity, the Prime Minister highlighted how the opposition had become a hindrance to the country's progress, urging unity and confrontation with these forces.
