Calling for greater synergy between the Centre and states, prime minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday asked chief ministers across the political spectrum to not allow political differences come in the way of nation building.
‘Irrespective of the political parties they belong to, the prime minister and chief ministers will have to work together. There can be different political parties, but the country is one. We have to move forward shoulder-to-shoulder,’ Modi said at the launch of a food park here.
‘Earlier, states and centre either competed with or hated each other due to political reasons. Some states also felt ‘dushmani’ (animosity towards the Centre). The country can’t run like this,’ Modi added.
