Cong concerned about my grave, I am concerned about development: PM Modi

Mandya (Karnataka), March 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) Making an emotional appeal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Sunday that the opposition Congress was "only concerned about his grave", and added that, "my concern is about development".
