Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar today saw no difference between Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi saying that they did not speak about the problems of the people.
"Neither leader has spoken about the genuine problems of the people. It is time to defeat both the parties and help form an alternative government at the Centre," Sarkar told an election rally at Bahari in Barpeta district.
BJP, he alleged, was flaunting money power with its much-hyped election campaigning across the country, but translating it into actual votes would not be possible for the party.
He also accused the AIUDF of not doing any good for Muslims.
"To vote either for AIUDF or Congress is the same, because after winning the elections, AIUDF will support the Congress," he said.
