By our Special Correspondent

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday took a swipe at the Congress at an event to commission a port in Thiruvananthapuram, saying the presence of two prominent leaders of the opposition’s INDIA bloc - Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor - on the dais would give sleepless nights to many.

          PM Modi, who formally commissioned the Vizhinjam International Seaport, was describing the potential of the port when he turned to chief minister Vijayan and said, “I want to tell the chief minister, you are a strong pillar of the INDIA bloc and Shashi Tharoor is also sitting here. Today’s event will give sleepless nights to many people.”
