Union Minister Anurag Singh Thakur on Thursday slammed Congress over their leader's remarks on Prime Minister Modi and said that the Congress divides people on the basis of caste, and religion like Britishers.
Anurag Singh Thakur held the meeting of of District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (Disha) at Hamirpur Bhawan on Thursday. "The blessings of the public will be with BJP because people want a double-engine government. They want development. Everyone wants to get freedom from the false promises of Congress. They divide people on the basis of caste, religion and community like Britishers in an effort to come to power. Sometimes they use inappropriate words for PM Modi which itself is an objectionable thing but no matter how many times they did it, the public supported PM Modi," Anurag Singh Thakur said. Notably, The Election Commission of India on Thursday issued a show cause notice to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his 'Jaibkatra' (Pickpocket) and 'Pannauti' remarks on Prime Minister Modi in an election rally. "Whereas, a complaint has been received from the BJP (copy enclosed) alleging that you, on 22nd November 2023 in a public meeting at Bayatu, District Barmer, Rajasthan made wild allegations and spoke in a derisive and obnoxious manner about the Prime Minister. It is alleged that comparing a PM to a "Jaibkatra" (pickpocket) and using the word "Pannauti" is unbecoming of a very senior leader of a National Political Party. Further, the allegation of grant of waivers of Rs. 14,00,000 crores for the past 9 years, is asserted by the BJP, as not borne out on facts," the ECI letter to Rahul Gandhi said. He also pressed that the Central schemes should be implemented in Hamirpur. "Hamirpur Medical College progress is running very late, there has been talk of speeding it up in today's meeting. The road which is being built from Hamirpur to Dharampur Mandi has been asked to be completed as soon as possible. Central schemes should also be implemented here," he added. (ANI)
