During the meeting, PM Modi discussed the NDA’s recent electoral victory in Haryana, stating that the coalition has garnered the trust of various societal segments and said that the opposition’s narratives of the NDA being anti-farmer were bogus, noting that farmers actively supported the NDA in large numbers.
