Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday accused the Congressparty of "disturbing the social fabric" of India by engaging in "old vote bank politics". Without naming the party, Modi said "those who have suffered a massive defeat in the elections are still not able to desist from engaging in old vote bank politics", in an obvious reference to the Congress. "They are engaged in disturbing the social fabric," Modi said at the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) first national council meet here at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium after the general election.
