New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today (March 12) took a swipe at opposition Congress and said that while he is busy uplifting the poor of the country and building infrastructure for better connectivity, the members of the grand old party are busy digging his grave. PM Modi, who is on his sixth visit to poll-bound Karnataka, lauched an attack on Congress after inagurating the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway. 

Addressing the public at the event, PM Modi said, "Congress is dreaming of digging Modi's grave...Congress is busy in digging Modi's grave while Modi is busy making the Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway...Modi is busy in easing the lives of the poor."

Congress and their allies want to dig my grave, while I want to build top quality infrastructure for my fellow Indians.
