"This government of Delhi cannot provide security to the nation. This government, neck deep in vote bank politics, cannot provide security to our nation... When the Indian jawans were beheaded, the Prime Minister had said that Pakistan will be accounted for it," Modi said addressing his much-publicised rally here.
"Now when the Pakistani Army, this week, shot dead our jawans, I want to ask the Prime Minister...He had made the promise that we will not tolerate such things. What is the reason that a country of 125 crore is silently tolerating when Pakistan is going back on its promise one by one?"
"What is the protocol with those, who behead our soldiers," he asked.
Modi, the chief of BJP's national election campaign, began his speech in Telugu drawing applause from his supporters, who had come to listen to him by paying Rs 5 as entry fee.
He also alleged that the jawans of Indian Army deployed on the Bangladesh border have been asked not to use weapons even if there was an assault from the other side.
"Shame, Shame Shame on You. Shame on You, who are running the government of India. You are spraying acid on the wounds of 125 crore Indians...," he said.
After his visit to Beijing recently, Khurshid said he would "love to live in Beijing."
Modi also slammed Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah over the detention of BJP leader Arun Jaitley at airport and preventing him from visiting riots-hit Kishtwar and said it smacks of an attempt to "hide" the "tale of a crime" that has happened there.
