NEW DELHI - Prime Minister Narendra Modi begs for votes on Tuesday as he made reference of fake surgical strike carried out on camps in Pakistan.
He asked for votes as said that the world has seen the "power" of India and asserted that the country was in "safe hands".
Addressing a rally here, he avoided any direct mention of the Indian action but underlined the importance of voting for a "strong" government rather than a "majbhoor" (desperate) government in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
"Aaj aapka mizaz kuch aur lag raha hai. Aapka yeh josh mai bali baanti samajh raha hun (Today, your mood looks different. I can very well understand your josh)," the Prime Minister said, obviously referring to the military action. [image: Embedded video] link
