PM Modi ‘Jhoothon Ka Sardar’: Kharge

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi ‘Jhoothon Ka Sardar’ and accused him of lying about Congress’s manifesto to mislead the public.

Addressing his first rally in Haryana here in Yamunanagar district, Kharge slammed Modi for his saying that the Congress was planning to redistribute wealth and take away women’s mangalsutras. “If Congress comes to power, it will snatch away all your properties. After getting X-ray done, where is mangalsutra, where is gold, silver and will take it out, give it to others,” he said Modi said in his rallies. “If you have 2 acres, one acre will be given to others, if you have two buffaloes, one will be given to Muslims.

He (Modi) said this … These are not our words,” Kharge said in the district’s Jagadhri city. “If a PM sitting in such a position says these things, then what should we say? Should such people be given votes again?” he asked the gathering. “He is a ‘jhoothon ka sardar.’”

Congress candidate from Ambala Lok Sabha seat Varun Chaudhary and AAP’s Kurukshetra candidate Sushil Gupta were also present at the rally. Congress is contesting nine seats, while the Aam Aadmi Party, its partner in the INDIA bloc, is contesting the Kurukshetra seat for the May 25 polls.

Kharge said the alliance will bring a caste census, and it will do it for the good of the public, not to snatch anyone’s property. He said the Congress is fighting against the ideology of RSS -- a Hindu right body and the ideological parent of the BJP. “You are snatching the Constitution and we are fighting against it. You want to end democracy and we are fighting it,” Kharge said. The Congress president said the current fight is between the people and Modi, and the people and the BJP. “Because, people are fed up with them.”
