You will never win against this ideology,” Modi said.Modi appealed to the people of Baghpat to make BJP candidate Satpal Singh victorious from Baghpat so that the dignity of mothers and sisters can be protected.“This is very unfortunate that today the dignity of mothers and sisters is not safe in this area.
