‘ Cong saves cow in MP, beheads calf in Kerala’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday lampooned the poll manifesto of Congress for electionbound Madhya Pradesh, saying, “Congress sings paean of mother cow in MP, but its workers resort to gory act of beheading a calf in public and eating its meat claiming it is their right”.
He was referring to poll manifesto of Congress for MP in which the party promised to establish “Gausalas” or cowsheds in all 23,600 panchayats in the state besides commercialising “Gau mutra” and cow dung, if returned to power in MP in the November 28 Assembly elections.
“The Congress men who killed the calf in public in a brutal manner in Kerala had even video- graphed the gruesome act and Congress leaders have been busy abusing me by using slangs in Hindi and English. They abuse ‘ chaiwala’, ‘ pakodawala, and ‘ chowkidar’ to poke fun at me. They attack me for donning tribal headgear Narendra
Modi, made it viral”, he said while addressing an election meeting in Chhindwara in MP, the home turf of state Pradesh Congress Committee president Kamal Nath.
Exhorting people not to believe the promises made in Congress manifesto, he said the party had developed the habit of telling lies over the period since independence and has now mastered the art of spreading lies.
“Congress leaders have been busy abusing me by using slangs in Hindi and English. They abuse ‘ chaiwala’, ‘ pakodawala, and ‘ chowkidar’ to poke fun at me. They attack me for donning tribal headgear”, he said.
“Congress leaders have lost their mental balance. Their leader got confused and the entire party got fused,” Prime Minister Modi quipped.
Mr Modi also made a scathing attack on the MP Pradesh Congress Committee ( PCC) president Kamal Nath for reportedly seeking to field candidates irrespective of their criminal backgrounds, the purported video of which had gone viral, and said, “What will happen to MP if goons will be elected to the House?”.
