Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar expressed his concerns on Tuesday regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s strong criticism of opposition leaders, including current and former chief ministers, at a program in Bhopal. Pawar suggested that the Prime Minister should consider whether it is appropriate to make such remarks about fellow colleagues.

Earlier in the day, Modi listed corruption allegations against the governments of opposition parties who met in Patna recently aiming for forming a united front against the BJP. Pawar, while speaking to reporters in a sarcastic tone, commented, "The PM has set a new example of how to talk about people."
