Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (April 17) expressed anguish over the loss of lives in various parts of Gujarat due to unseasonal rain. "Authorities are monitoring the situation very closely. All possible assistance is being given to those affected," he tweeted. The Congress, however, cornered PM Modi over Gujarat-specific tweet saying he should act as the prime minister of the country and not be partial to Gujarat.

These tweets were not well-received by Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath who said that loss of lives also took place in Madhya Pradesh which is under the Congress rule. He said that even though the state does not have a Bharatiya Janata Party government, the Prime Minister should have extended his condolences to those who fell victims to the unseasonal rail there.
मोदी जी , आप देश के पीएम ना कि गुजरात के।
एमपी में भी बेमौसम बारिश व तूफ़ान के कारण आकाशीय बिजली गिरने से 10 से अधिक लोगों की मौत हुई है।लेकिन आपकी संवेदनाएँ सिर्फ़ गुजरात तक सीमित ?
भले यहाँ आपकी पार्टी की सरकार नहीं है लेकिन लोग यहाँ भी बस्ते है।

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh also slammed the Prime Minister and accused him of being partial to Gujarat as no relief fund was announced for the victims in Madhya Pradesh.
गुजरात के अंदर आई आंधी तूफान को विशेष मदद देने की प्रधानमंत्री कार्यालय से घोषणा की थी और मोदी जी ने ट्वीट भी किया था। किन्तु मप्र में आई आँधी तूफ़ान से जो क्षति हुई है उसमें मोदी जी और उनका कार्यालय क्यों मौन है? क्या प्रमं को इस प्रकार का भेदभाव करना चाहिये?
