BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra lashed out at Congress for criticizing PM Modi's speech.
Sambit Patra said that Congress doesn't want to light candles to show solidarity with India.
Patra tweeted, "If You all from Congress dont want to light a candle to stand in solidarity with India...if thats too much of a pain for you Congress-people...so be it...stay in darkness, but at least dont forget to put off that 'TUBELIGHT'!!"
Sambit Patra was replying to Shashi Tharoor's tweet who said, "PM's speech had nothing about how to ease peoples pain, their burdens, their financial anxieties."
Earlier PM Modi requested every citizen to switch off all the lights of their house on 5th April at 9 PM for 9 minutes.
