Modi vs Rest: Battles get uglier 

Campaigning for seventh phase of polling ends but leaders continue to trade vicious barbs

NEW DELHI: The Lok Sabha elections are in the final lap and the torrent of vitriol flows unchecked in the name of electioneering.
As campaigning for the seventh phase ended on Monday, bare-knuckle fight for votes intensified. BJP’s PM candidate Narendra Modi yet again took on Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, hit back at union minister Farooq Abdullah, while coming under heavy fire from both the leaders as well as West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
The discourse is getting bitter, personal and shriller by the day, but no one seems to care.
RAHUL VS MODI
Mocking Rahul Gandhi, Narendra Modi dubbed the Congress vice-president namuna (which loosely translates to clown/joker) for his “little knowledge” about Gujarat. Addressing a rally in Kheralu in Gujarat, Modi said Gandhi’s claim of vast job vacancies and lokayukta smacked of ignorance, and were short on facts. His speeches were good stressbusters, Modi said. “Rahulbhai, if you don’t have that much knowledge, what would happen to India?” he said.
In distant Bathinda, Gandhi hit back with force, questioning Modi’s ties with Adani Group and the BJP leader lampooning his visits to Dalit houses. After handing over land worth thousands of crores of rupees to an industrialist, the state government claims that Gujarat is shining. Was it wrong to ask Dalits about their problems? What’s wrong in meeting or hugging them, he said. “Kya main koi galti kar raha hun (Am I doing something wrong)? he asked the audience in the reserve constituency of Faridkot.
MODI VS ABDULLAHS

He accused the union minister, his son CM Omar Abdullah, and father Sheikh Abdullah of communalising Kashmir for political gains. Omar took on the Gujarat CM, accusing him of twisting history. He challenged Modi to visit Kashmir and ask for votes. “He wanted a debate on Article 370, but chickened out, with BJP saying I was not in his league,’’ Omar said.
Farooq picked up from where he left off on Sunday. Addressing a poll rally in central Kashmir, he said Modi wanted to erode Kashmiri identity and make “Kashmiris his slaves’’ by proposing to abrogate Article 370 that gave Kashmir special status.
MAMATA VS MODI
Unleashing a vicious attack on Modi after he questioned the “big money” fetched by her paintings, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee labelled her Gujarat counterpart “devil, and a blood thirsty rioter”. The country would be “ruined” if he comes to power, and the “architect” of Gujarat riots would drench Bengal in an “ocean of blood”, she said in Kolkata.
Her Trinamool Congress demanded a public apology from Modi for doubting the integrit
