Taking on the Opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday cautioned against the practice of putting ideological and political interests over the well-being of society and the country. He said it was the responsibility of every political party that opposition to a party or a person should not turn into hostility against the country.
“There is a place for ideology and political aspirations but country and society always come first,” he said. Sometimes, opposition parties obstruct the work of the ruling party only because they could not implement those policies when they were in power, Mr. Modi claimed.
The PM was addressing the 10th death anniversary event of former Rajya Sabha member Chaudhary Harmohan Singh Yadav. One of the foremost leaders of the Samajwadi Party, Mr. Yadav had been a trusted friend of party patriarch Mulayam Singh Yadav.
