A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi made remarks over the Congress party and Muslims, senior leader Rahul Gandhi said the prime minister has “several new techniques to divert from the issues” like unemployment and price rise, but the “end is near for business of lies”.
“Unemployment and inflation are at their peak in the country and Narendra Modi says ‘everything is fine’.” “He (Modi) has several new techniques to ‘divert from the issues’, But the end of the business of lies is near,” he said in a post in Hindi on X.
Gandhi also shared Congress’ latest advertisement in his tweet, which features two individuals discussing the burdensome “mehengai” (inflation) and the lack of wage hikes in the past 10 years.
The Congress on Sunday also slammed the PM’s remark during a rally in Rajasthan, where he had said that if the party was voted to power, it could distribute the nation’s wealth among “infiltrators” and “those who have more children”.
“Pehle jab unki sarkar thi, unhone kaha tha ki desh ki sampati par pehla adhikar Musalmano ka hai. Iska matlab, ye sampati ikatthi karke kisko baatenge? Jinke zyada bacche hain, unko baatenge, ghuspaithiyon ko baatenge. Kya aapki mehnat ki kamayi ka paisa ghuspaithiyon ko diya jayega? Aapko manzoor hai yeh? (Earlier, when they (the Congress) were in power, they had said Muslims have the first right to the wealth of the nation. This means they will distribute this wealth to those who have more children, to infiltrators. Should your hard-earned money be given to infiltrators? Do you agree with this)?” the PM said.
In response, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh accused Modi of speaking in a “poisonous language”.
Reacting sharply, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said, “What Modiji said was hate speech and also a well thought-out ploy to divert attention. Today, the Prime Minister did what he has learnt from the values of the Sangh.”
On the other hand, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal questioned why no action was taken by the Election Commission regarding the issue.
“Politics has stooped down to such a level and it has not happened in history and I do not want it to happen. I want to ask a question to the Election Commission why action was not taken immediately. You (EC) should condemn it and a notice should be given to PM Modi…” he said.
