PM pays tribute to Patel, attacks Cong; says enemies trying to break unity

Kevadiya/Tharad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Monday that India’s enemies were trying to break its unity and that the country should stand firm against them.

Later in the day, PM targeted Congress over Patel’s photo not featuring in advertisements in newspapers given by the party-led government in Rajasthan and advised its leaders to first connect with the man who unified India.
