Attacking PM Modi on his tweet mentioning the calamity just in the state of Gujarat, Kamal Nath wrote,” Mr. Modi, you are the Prime Minister of the country and not just Gujarat. More than 10 people have died due to unseasonal rain and storms in Madhya Pradesh. But your condolence is just confined to Gujarat only? Even though your party doesn’t have a government in Madhya Pradesh, people do stay here.”
मोदी जी , आप देश के पीएम ना कि गुजरात के।
एमपी में भी बेमौसम बारिश व तूफ़ान के कारण आकाशीय बिजली गिरने से 10 से अधिक लोगों की मौत हुई है।लेकिन आपकी संवेदनाएँ सिर्फ़ गुजरात तक सीमित ?
भले यहाँ आपकी पार्टी की सरकार नहीं है लेकिन लोग यहाँ भी बस्ते है।— Office Of Kamal Nath (@OfficeOfKNath) April 17, 2019
