Shahjahanpur, 25 April (HS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the Samajwadi Party-Congress coalition in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday, claiming that do shehzade (two princes) had joined forces to practice appeasement politics.

Without naming names, but in an apparent assault on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav, Modi asked, Can you expect development from the flop pair of 'Do ladkon ki jodi' (a pair of boys)?

Modi spoke at a rally here in favor of BJP candidates in Shahjahanpur and adjacent Lok Sabha seats. According to him, the main motive for the do shehzade to band together is political appeasement.
