NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a blistering critique of the Congress on Wednesday, accusing the opposition party of becoming obsolete and consistently opposing reservation policies.
During his response to the debate on the Motion of Thanks in the Rajya Sabha, Modi asserted that the Congress has “outsourced” its responsibilities, expressing sympathy over its decline.
“The Cong’s thought has become outdated and it has outsourced its work. We are not happy at such a downfall of the party and we express our sympathies,” Modi said.
Citing a letter written by Jawaharlal Nehru to chief ministers, Modi said it clearly states that the first prime minister was against reservation of any kind, especially in jobs, as it adversely affected the functioning of the government.
Modi said President Droupadi Murmu, in her address in Parliament, talked about solving the problems of the four largest sections of society — the poor, farmers, the youth and women.
“The Congress strangled democracy for power and dismissed democratically elected governments. The Congress has been against Dalits, backwards, tribals and had it not been for Babasaheb Ambedkar, they would not have got any reservation,” Modi said.
Modi also accused the Congress of creating narratives to divide the country and alleged that it was now trying to give such statements that sought to create a North-South divide.
The party that ceased large chunks of the country’s land to an enemy nation is now giving sermons to us on internal security, he said, attacking the Congress.
“The Congress does not have guarantee of its own leaders and policies but is questioning Modi’s guarantees,” he said.
The prime minister said the Congress was aware of the problems facing the country but did nothing to resolve them.
“We have come out of a difficult time and have brought the country out of its problems,” the PM said.
