Churu, Rajasthan: In a cricket-themed attack on the Congress party during his visit to poll-bound Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi likened the Congress' five-year rule in the state to a cricket match where the players are more occupied with running each other out than scoring runs.

Addressing a gathering in Taranagar, Churu district, PM Modi tapped into the cricket fervour ahead of India vs. Australia match, stating, "In cricket, a batsman comes and scores runs for his team. But there is such a fight among the Congress party that these people are busy running each other out."
