Criticizing the “delay” by UPA in granting 'one-rank, one-pension' for ex-servicemen, BJP”s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Sunday accused Congress of playing “fraud” with the armed forces.

He said that it was only after Rahul Gandhi's push, that the government accepted the long-standing demand of ex-servicemen and allocated Rs 500 crore for the fund a few days back.

Addressing a party rally in presence of Akali Dal leaders in Ludhiana, Modi described the BJP-SAD alliance in Punjab as a symbol of Hindu-Sikh unity and claimed that this has put to end, what he called, the “Congress' game of divide and rule”.

He took potshots at the Gandhi family and Congress for targeting other parties on corruption.
