Prime Minister on Friday lashed out at the Congress, saying the “most corrupt” party was being run by the tukde tukde gang and urban Naxals.
“The Congress which you see today is not the party with which a great man like Mahatma Gandhi was associated,” Modi said, addressing a public meeting at Wardha in Maharashtra on completion of one year of the PM Vishwakarma scheme.
“The ghost of hatred has entered the Congress,” Modi said. “In today’s Congress the soul of patriotism has breathed its last,” he added. Modi also spoke of the “anti-India agendas” of the Congress leaders in their speeches abroad, without naming that party’s leader Rahul Gandhi , who is facing flak from the ruling dispensation for his remark in the US on scrapping the reservation system.
“If there is a corrupt party it is the Congress and the most corrupt family is its shahi parivar,” Modi said, without naming the Gandhi family. “Congress hates Ganpati puja as well,” Modi said. “I went to a Ganesh puja programme and Congress criticised it for appeasement politics.
Ganpati Bappa was put behind bars in Karnataka. Ganpati idol was put in a police van,” he said. “Congress allies in Maharashtra kept mum and did not take a stand on Ganpati Bappa’s insult,” Modi said. In an apparent reference to the ensuing state assembly elections in Maharashtra later this year, Modi said, “In Maharashtra, we have to be aware of their duplicity.”
