PM good at passing the buck: Congress

- OUR BUREAU

The Congress on Saturday lambasted PM Modi for abdication of responsibi­lity, and tweeted, “There’s one thing alone that our PM is good at — passing the buck at all times.”

It said there is a limit to hypocrisy, claiming two faces of the PM. “When vaccine is made: Modi ji’s success. When vaccine is in shortage: Collective responsibi­lity.” “Yes Modiji, we reiterate what you once said —Hypocrisy ki bhi seema hoti hai.”

In a series of tweets with the hashtag #BJPSeSaval­PuchhteRah­na, the Congress said: “While the opposition parties and the common people have had to collective­ly put up with all your failed policy decisions, the least you could do Modiji, is accept you’ve made them.”

Demonetisa­tion, collective responsibi­lity, GST, collective responsibi­lity, lockdown, collective responsibi­lity, and vaccine drive, collective responsibi­lity.

“Answer this PM Modi: Was it the Indian people who decided to hold huge public rallies or large festival gatherings? Was it the Indian people that declared premature victory over the virus?”

“Finding oxygen, finding medicine, finding hospital beds and saving lives have all become the “collective responsibi­lity” of Indian citizens because the #Manipulati­veBJP govt and PM Modi have abdicated their responsibi­lity to protect our people,” says another Congress tweet.

Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s one-liner taunt instead of blaming the PM. “Crocodiles are innocent,” he tweeted.

In another tweet, the Congress said it stands by the country’s people in corona crisis. “Every member of the Congress family is helping the people to face the crisis. Until the corona is defeated, our help will continue.”

On hundreds of bodies now rising from the sand on the banks of the Ganga in Kanpur, and police, administra­tion covering it with soil, the Congress tweeted: “Unnav, Ghazipur, Prayagraj and now Kanpur! Who is responsibl­e for this burial of the humanity? Is not entitled for the last rites as per the Hindu culture? Where are ModiAditya­nath ji?”

“If the horrific images of dead bodies floating down the Ganga and deaths due to lack of oxygen weren’t enough to shake the Yogi govt out of its denial and slumber, what will,” it asked.

On PM Modi’s new “mantra” of the doorstep treatment, “Jahan Bimar, Vahin Upchar,” the Congress tweeted such “mantras” are handed out when the health system collapses.

“If coronaviru­s were to come under control from your mantras, it would have gone away long ago. Earlier also you dished out the Mantras like “2 gaj ki duri, mask hai zaroori,” “Jab tak davai nahi, tab tak dhilai nahi” and “davai bhi aur kadayi bhi”. You keep giving slogans and what did people connected with your party? Brought down the democratic­ally elected government in Madhya Pradesh with deceit. Then your leaders did not follow two yards’ distance and the mask necessary. Poll campaign without fear in Bihar, not adhering to no laxity without medicines. You yourself flayed both medicines and strict control in Bengal elections. Your mantras won’t change the situation. Government will have to also fulfil some responsibi­lities, in which it has been fully a failure.”
