New Delhi: Left parties today attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "talking and walking in opposite direction", saying he continued to suffer from the "hangover" of his election speeches and went on with his rhetoric.

In editorials appearing in the forthcoming issues of CPI (M) organ 'People's Democracy' and CPI's 'New Age', the parties also spoke of the "dangerous" trend in escalation of communal polarisation, saying even though Modi spoke of a ten year moratorium on communal and caste conflicts, "his die-hard supporters are bent upon raising all divisive issues".
