Modi fascinated by Mughals, mutton, mangalsutra: Kharge
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is fascinated by Mughals, mutton, Muslim League and mangalsutra and tries to scare people with irrelevant issues, charged All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Mallikarjun Kharge.
“Such a cheap political discourse was never seen in Indian politics and doesn’t suit the stature of an Indian Prime Minister,” he said while addressing a press conference in Hyderabad on Friday. “After three phases of elections, Mr. Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are scared,” he said.
Can anyone sneak into another person’s house and snatch someone’s mangalsutra? There is a law in this country. If someone is capable of snatching someone’s property, it is only Mr. Modi, he alleged. He said that the PM was scared of losing power and that is why he was creating an atmosphere of fear among people and dividing them.
Raid Ambani and Adani
Mr. Kharge questioned Mr. Modi as to why he was sleeping when he knew that money was being sent in ‘tempos’ to Congress by industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, and advised him to send the CBI and I-T teams to the houses of the businessmen he was referring to. “Let the Central agencies raid their houses if he had that information,” he said.
The AICC president said that Mr. Modi used to defend both the businessmen when Congress levelled allegations on favouring them. “Why is he attacking them now, and why is he spreading lies,” he asked terming Mr. Modi as ‘Jhooton ka Sardaar”.
Charging the Prime Minister with favouritism, he asked why was Gujarat getting preference. “I feel every State should be developed and all should get investments. But, there is a feeling that Mr. Modi is calling investors only to Gujarat and scaring them to invest there,” he said.
He also said that Hyderabad did not get any investments and asked the BJP to explain how many projects did the party get for Telangana. “Congress can proudly claim to have created projects like Nagarjunasagar due to Nehru’s e£orts. Can Mr. Modi claim any such huge project for Telangana?” he asked. “Dr. B.R. Ambedkar once suggested Hyderabad to be made the second capital. But, this city has also been ignored by the PM.”
Reacting to Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar’s comments to go soft on Pakistan, he said that India is a hundred times stronger than Pakistan. Indira Gandhi tested the rst atom bomb in the country and also liberated Bangladesh from Pakistan.
