- Satyasunda­r Barik

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday strongly criticised the Indian National Developmen­tal, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), asserting that its nepotistic leaders intensified their attacks on him due to their inability to counter his government’s accomplish­ments.

Addressing a public meeting in Odisha’s Jajpur district, he said, “Corrupt leaders of INDI alliance do not like the developmen­ts undertaken in the country. These dynasts do not have any answer to our commitment­s, achievemen­ts, policies, and dedication. INDI alliance has now stepped up its attack on Modi.”

“We are implementi­ng a freeration programme for the poorer section of society. This is the reason why we continue to get blessings of people. We have extended the scheme by another five years. We are also executing Har Ghar Jal Yojana to make provision for tap water supply to every rural household. I am also working on making three crore lakhpati didis (women selfhelp group leaders),” he said.

“Now, corrupt INDI alliance leaders are saying Modi does not have any family and they want to oust

Modi. INDI alliance leaders say that it is an ideologica­l fight against me. The ideology of INDI alliance leaders is family first while Modi’s ideology is nation first. These leaders only live for their families while Modi toils hard for every family of the country,” Mr. Modi said.

“These leaders have used power to get rid of their own poverty. But during administra­tion of Modi, 25 crore families have elevated themselves from poverty. This is why I call mera bharat mera pariwar (my country, my family). These statements are disturbing familycent­ric leaders. Since yesterday, every farmer, son and daughter have been resonating this, calling them part of Modi’s family,” he said

Every farmer, son, and daughter refers to themselves as part of Modi’s family, the Prime Minister says
