New Delhi [India], March 28 : Taking a jibe at the Opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that all those who are deeply rooted in corruption have come together and are attacking constitutional institutions of the country.
PM Modi was addressing an event after inaugurating the newly constructed BJP central office (extension) here in the national capital.
In his address, PM Modi said, "We have a strong foundation of constitutional institutions. That's why to stop India, constitutional institutions are being attacked. Conspiracies are being hatched to defame our institutions and bring down their credibility".

Today, if we are standing then it is with the blessings of the public. It is with their blessings, that we have moved forward, are moving forward and will continue to move forward.
Further taking a dig at the Opposition, PM Modi said, "BJP is not made from the screens of newspapers and TV channels and is not made from Twitter and YouTube.
