The nation cannot move forward with the sins of the INDIA bloc, which stands for corruption, appeasement politics, represents the ‘tukde-tukde’ gang and a perverted mindset that heaps scorn on Sanatan Dharma - Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday dubbed the INDIA bloc as a “congregation of scamsters” that was communal, casteist and dynastic to a “severe” degree, “cent per cent”.
Modi launched the blistering attack at rallies in Mahrajganj and Purvi Champaran Lok Sabha constituencies in Bihar, where he also predicted a big blow for the opposition alliance that stood for corruption, appeasement politics and “perverted anti-Sanatan mindset”, on June 4 when Lok Sabha poll results will be out.
The PM, who is seeking a third consecutive term in office, also underscored that he shall be bequeathing no “viraasat (inheritance)” since he considered the people of the country as his only “waaris (successors)”. He also charged the RJD-Congress combine, which formerly ruled Bihar, with having brought disrepute to “the land which gave birth to first president Rajendra Prasad”.
He pointed out that the state, in the 1990s, had become known for “rangdaari tax (extortion)” and the NDA, which has been in power for nearly two decades, was trying to “bring to a halt the trend of large-scale migration to other parts of the country for want of industries and job opportunities in Bihar”.
He lambasted the Nehru-Gandhi family, which he referred to as “Congress’ royal family”, for “keeping mum” over controversial remarks made by its leaders and allies against people of Bihar in states such as Punjab, Telangana and Tamil Nadu. “Your vote is not just for electing your local MP but also to make your PM strong,” said Modi, who also claimed that migrants from Bihar were treated well in Gujarat when he was the CM of that state.
The PM also launched indirect attacks on leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav, who he said were “born with silver spoons”. “The nation cannot move forward with the sins of the INDIA bloc, which stands for corruption, appeasement politics, represents the ‘tukde-tukde’ gang and a perverted mindset that heaps scorn on Sanatan Dharma,” he said.
“This is the reason why the INDIA bloc was exhausted in the very first phase of the elections. In the subsequent phases, it was battered. In the remaining two phases, the trend will continue, and on June 4 when votes are counted, the results will come as a big blow to the intentions of the opposition alliance,” he claimed. Modi claimed that the opposition alliance did not look like a political front. “It appears to be a congregation of scamsters, who are together responsible for corruption scandals worth Rs 20 lakh crore,” he alleged.
