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.",
