Hours after reports emerged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, upon landing in India and back from his landmark visit to the US and Egypt, asked BJP national president JP Nadda, "What's happening in India?"("Bharat mein kya ho raha") at the Palam airport, politics broke out as TMC national spokesperson Saket Gokhale raised questions on Home Minister Amit Shah's claims made at the all party meeting called on Manipur that "PM Modi was constantly monitoring the situation in Manipur." Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned back to India post Sunday night and was welcomed at the airport by Union Ministers and BJP National President JP Nadda. Gokhale said that if reports of PM Modi asking the BJP party president about the state of affairs in India is true, then it shows the "PM was clueless on his foreign vacation". "Was the PM clueless on his foreign vacation all along & did Mr. Shah lie to the Opposition?" Gokhale asked.
Earlier, reports claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after landing at the Palam airport, asked BJP National President JP Nadda "Bharat mein kya ho raha?" (So what is happening in India?)
