The BJP leader's remarks came after Randhawa on Monday launched a scathing attack on the Centre over the Pulwama attack and asked if the terror attack which killed 40 CRPF jawans in February 2019 was "done to fight elections".

"Congress stood and ended all kinds of mafias in Punjab...we ended Akalidal forever...Can't we finish Modi? My village is 5 km from Pakistan. We were never scared of Pakistan. Modi sahab says ghuss ke marenge', how come Pulwama happened? Conduct its inquiry. Till this day, we don't know how they were killed....wasn't it done to fight elections?" Randhawa said at a gathering in Rajasthan's Jaipur.
