SOME OPPOSITION LEADERS ARE LYING MACHINES: MODI
NEW DELHI : Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday dubbed some political rivals as “lying machines who fire off lies like AK-47”, and said that while opposition parties were joining hands to protect their ruling dynasties, the BJP worked to change the country’s destiny.
“Some leaders are like lying machines. Whenever they open their mouths, they fire off lies like AK 47,” he said, asking BJP workers to unmask their lies by taking correct information to the masses. Modi was addressing BJP workers via video-conferencing here on Saturday.
NEW DELHI: After advising party workers to see the Opposition’s speeches as a source of entertainment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed rivals as “lying machines who fire off lies like AK-47”.
During his interaction with booth-level BJP workers, Modi told them not to worry about any possible alliance of the Opposition parties. He maintained that voters “hate” the Opposition for various reasons such as refusal to recognise the country’s good work and abusing and insulting the army.
“Some leaders are like lying machines. Whenever they open their mouths, they fire off lies like AK 47,” Modi quipped, asking his party workers to refute their lies by spreading awareness among the masses.
Modi made a reference to a WhatsApp post in which, he said, media persons found that people attending a recent protest meeting organised by an opposition party had little idea about the reasons for which they were raising slogans against him.
Modi’s comments assume significance as his party leaders have often accused Congress chief Rahul Gandhi for allegedly spreading false information even as Gandhi continues his attack against the government over the Rafale deal and other issues.
Responding to another question in the interaction with party workers of five Lok Sabha constituencies, Modi accused the opposition of telling lies against his government and said people now had many means to find correct information.
However, he said, people know the truth and if a party worker speaks to 100 persons his confidence will grow many times.
Referring to the BJP-led central government and state governments , Modi said while they were working to change the country’s destiny, the opposition was concerned about its ruling dynasties.
Opposition parties are coming together as their leaders want to leave behind something for their sons, he said.
They fear what will happen to 200-500 dynasties if the BJP remains in power for five to 10 more years, Modi said, adding that these families have had a tight hold over the country since its independence.
“Due to this concern and to protect their dynasties, they have come together. They are concerned that they should leave something behind for their progenies,” Modi said.
