PM Modi to Opposition: Welcome to fight in 2029 but respect 2024 mandate

An aggressive PM Narendra Modi on Monday said while opposition parties are welcome to fight the 2029 elections with full vigour, they should respect the mandate of the last polls and not let the functioning of Parliament suffer because of partisan purposes. “Go to the battlefields of election in Jan 2029. Till then, the only priority should be the country, its poor, farmers, women and the youth,” PM said in his customary address to the media ahead of the Parliament session.
