Prime Minister Narendra Modi
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the chance to conduct a full-on attack on the Congress on Monday, obviously in view of the impending Lok Sabha polls.
The PM chose to praise their own party, BJP, to slam Congress, claiming that the latter would have taken 100 more years than his party achieved in 10 years, NDTV reported.
He targeted Congress stalwarts, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, claiming that both underestimated the Indian people.
The PM claimed that it is Congress who is responsible for “the state of the Opposition today”.
He alleged that the Congress failed because it did not allow other parties to perform. Congress ruined the Parliament, the Opposition and even the country, he said and added that he believes that a country needed a strong opposition. The Congress lost its will to fight, and ‘they will sit there for more to come,” NDTV quoted the PM.
Mocking Congress’ Rahul Gandhi and his ‘Mohabbat ki Dukaan’ slogan, the PM said that Congress is trying to launch the “same product” repeatedly.
He invoked excerpts from their decade-old speeches to criticize Nehru and Indhira. Claiming that the duo never had faith in Indians, he alleged that Congress never trusted India’s potential. The party always considered themselves as India’s rulers and belittled Indian people, he claimed.
Modi quoted Nehru from the first PM’s address from Red Fort, saying that Nehru said that Indians did have the habit of working hard compared to the Europeans and Americans. He cited the quote in an attempt to prove his point that the Congress party and two leaders underestimated the Indian people.
