PM Modi takes 'PPP' jibe at Congress, Siddaramaiah hits back
Bengaluru, May 5 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a rally in poll-bound Karnataka on Saturday, took a jibe at Congress stating the party will get reduced to only two states after the conclusion of election process in the southern state.
Inventing a theory of PPP, Modi said the Congress will be left with only Punjab and Puducherry to rule.
Modi reportedly said after May 15 (when poll results will be out), Congress will be reduced to PPP Congress- Punjab, Puducherry and Parivar (family) Congress.
Hitting back at Modi, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah tweeted, "Dear Modi ಅವರೇ, Heard you spun a new abbreviation ‘PPP’ today. Sir, we have always championed the 3 Ps of democracy - ‘Of the People, By the People, For the People’. While your party is a ‘Prison’, ‘Price Rise’ & ‘Pakoda’ party. Am I right, Sir?"

While your party is a ‘Prison’, ‘Price Rise’ & ‘Pakoda’ party.
Am I right, Sir?#NijaHeliModi
