The many moods of PM Modi during his last outing before the model code of conduct

The PM was the chief guest at the CISF's 50th raising day in Ghaziabad. With the EC set to announce poll dates, it is his last outing in this tenure.

   

New Delhi: Addressing the 50th raising day of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), as the chief guest in Ghaziabad Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a stern warning to terrorist forces targeting India, saying the country will not keep suffering forever.

This is the PM’s last public appearance before model code of conduct kicks in as the Election Commission is scheduled to announce poll dates for the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections at 5 pm Sunday.
