New Delhi: With less than a week to go for polling, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sparked off a row by asking voters to ride on his luck in the upcoming elections. While addressing a rally at Dwarka on Sunday Modi urged voters to tap into his luck, if that has helped bring petrol prices down.
The "rivals", particularly the Congress, say the prices have come down just because he is "lucky", he said, adding "Do you want a lucky person or someone who is less lucky?"
AAP slammed Modi and said that he cannot take credit for the spiralling fuel prices and that Modi was just lucky to be in power when the prices fell.
Another AAP leader Ashish Khaitan said, "He has demeaned the post of PM by making such a comment. Everyone is disappointed by PM 's rallies, people expected him to lay out a plan for Delhiites."
Taunting his rivals, he said, "Ok, let's accept that I am lucky but you have saved money. If Modi's luck is benefitting the people, what can be more fortunate? If because of my good luck, prices of petrol and diesel get reduced and common man saves more, then what is need for bringing someone who is unlucky?"
Taking on Congress and other "rivals" for "ruing that Modi is lucky", the Prime Minister said, "it is not Modi's luck but if somebody has the blessings of 125 crore people, there cannot be any better luck."
