Speaking at a rally in Karnataka’s Hospet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday took a swipe at the Congress, saying, the party had first locked Lord Ram, and now has vowed to lock those who chant Jai Bajrang Bali’.

The PM’s remarks came just hours after the Congress launched its poll manifesto in which it equated banned Islamist outfit PFI and Bajrang Dal saying it will take “decisive action” as per law including banning organisations like Bajrang Dal, the PFI and others.
