Amaravati, Feb 26: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi washed the feet of sanitation workers in Prayagraj to seek votes, as the Lok Sabha elections are inching closer.

The Telugu Desam Party or TDP chief claimed, "Narendra Modi is washing their (sanitation workers) feet before the elections. These sanitation workers have been providing services in all these four years, but Modi never washed their feet. But now he is cleaning their feet keeping elections in mind. He never responds even when somebody offers him Namaskar. Modi did not respond to the salutation by Advani (BJP veteran LK Advani). He cheats even his guru. There is no actor better than Narendra Modi."

Prime Minister Modi on Sunday took a holy dip at the Sangam during the ongoing Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj and also interacted with sanitation workers who ensured cleanliness during the religious gathering.

He described the sanitation workers as "real karmayogis" (real selfless workers) and applauded their contribution to cleanliness during the Kumbh Mela. He even washed the feet of the sanitation workers and presented them "angvastram" (a type of cloth wrapped around the body).

Continuing his tirade against the prime minister, the TDP chief, while addressing a meeting of party leaders and cadre from Ongole parliamentary constituency, said: "We had condemned the developments in Gujarat when Narendra Modi was the chief minister over there. Later, we thought he changed and we allied with him. But after four years, we understood that Modi would not change. Those who want to damage TDP will face its wrath."

Claiming that PM Modi "stands by corruption", Mr Naidu said, "Those who flew away from the country are the witnesses. YSRCP leader Jaganmohan Reddy is the evidence. There are 11 cases on Jagan, but no action is taken. And how can these people speak of corruption?"

"Narendra Modi has failed on all fronts in ruling at the central level. He had spoiled all the institutions, attacked the autonomy of the RBI, CBI, etc. He misused the ED and IT department. He created panic among farmers. The entire nation is opposing the BJP, except Jaganmohan Reddy and Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao," he claimed.

Pulwama, May 28: A major incident of a vehicle-borne IED blast was averted by the timely input and action by Pulwama Police, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Army, the Jammu and Kashmir Police said.

According to sources, Pulwama Police got credible information last night about a terrorist moving with an explosive-laden car ready to blast at some location. They took out various parties of police and security forces and covered all possible routes keeping themselves and the police and security forces away from the road at safer locations.

The suspected vehicle came and a few rounds were fired towards it. A little ahead this vehicle was abandoned and the driver escaped in the darkness. On close look, the vehicle was seen to be carrying heavy explosives in a drum on the rear seat. Possibly more explosive would be fitted elsewhere in the vehicle, sources added.

The vehicle was kept under watch for the night. People in nearby houses were evacuated and the vehicle exploded in situ by the Bomb Disposal Squad as moving the vehicle would have involved serious threat, sources said.

The vehicle reportedly sports a number plate of a scooter registered somewhere in Kathua district of Jammu zone, sources added.
