Slamming Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday, said that the “most corrupt” party was being run by the tukde tukde gang and urban Naxals.
“The Congress which you see today is not the party with which a great man like Mahatma Gandhi was associated,” Modi said, addressing a public meeting at Wardha in Maharashtra on completion of one year of the PM Vishwakarma scheme.
He said the party leaders go to foreign nations and deliver anti-national speeches. He lamented “anti-India agendas” of the Congress leaders in their speeches abroad, without naming that party’s leader Rahul Gandhi, who is facing flak from the ruling dispensation for his remark in the US on scrapping the reservation system.
“The party which respects our culture will not disrespect Ganpati puja…Congress party has a problem with Ganpati puja…I went for Ganapati puja and they had a problem with it,” he added. “The ghost of hatred has entered the Congress,” Modi said. “In today’s Congress the soul of patriotism has breathed its last,” he said.
In an apparent reference to the ensuing state assembly elections in Maharashtra later this year, Modi said, “In Maharashtra, we have to be aware of their duplicity. Falsehood and betrayal are the hallmark of the Congress and people of Maharashtra should beware of the party.”
The Congress used farmers only for politics and corruption, Modi said. “We should not give another chance to Congress, which destroyed farmers. Falsehood and betrayal is the hallmark of Congress,” Modi said. The Congress did not fulfil its election promises in Telangana, he added.
PM Modi alleged that Congress and its friends deliberately did not let the SC, ST and OBC people move forward. “We have eliminated this anti-Dalit and anti-backward thinking of Congress from the government system. The figures of the last one year show that SC, ST and OBC communities are taking advantage of the Vishwakarma Yojana”, he added.
