A day after the Opposition’s massive unity rally in Kolkata, Prime Minister Narendra Modi termed the grouping against his party an “alliance of corruption, negativity and instability”. Mr. Modi was addressing BJP’s booth-level workers from Lok Sabha constituencies of Kolhapur, Hatkanangle, Madha and Satara in Maharashtra and South Goa through video-conference on Saturday. “The Opposition has dhanshakti (money power), we have janshakti (people's power),” Mr. Modi added. Our country is our family... Those who start violence against the person contesting against them even at the panchayat level, are now singing songs of protecting democracy,” Mr. Modi said. “But with (the new) 10% reservation, new opportunities have been opened up,” the Prime Minister asserted.
