Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said he had warned Pakistan of consequences if it did not return Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman. Addressing a poll rally at Patan on the last day of campaigning, Modi asserted his government's commitment towards national security. It would have been 'qatal ni raat' if Pakistan had not announced his release," PM Modi said. Playing the 'son of the soil' card, PM Modi appealed voters to ensure that the BJP won all 26 Lok Sabha seats in the state. "They thought Modi will attack from here, Modi will attack from there but being a devotee of Lord Hanuman, we attacked from the sky," PM Modi said.
