Prime Minister Narendra Modi today took his penchant for wordplay into parliament to accuse the Congress of doing nothing for the people over the decades it ruled the country. "When we talk of a new India, we talk of hope," he said in an address to the lower house amid both applause and catcalls. "There are two periods in time as far as India is concerned -- BC and AD. BC stands for 'Before Congress', when nothing happened, and AD for 'After Dynasty', when everything happened."
