PM Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders observed a fast on Thursday to protest the washout of the second phase of Parliament's Budget Session, for which they have blamed the Congress. While many, including Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh , kept to their work while fasting, several ministers, among them Prakash Javadekar, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Piyush Goyal, travelled to different parts of the country to sit on fast and attack the main opposition party.
