Hitting out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his speech in Parliament, Congress leader Harish Rawat on Sunday said that he keeps criticizing everyone and considers them a demerit.
"Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister of the country but he sees everyone except himself and his party as demerit and corrupt and he keeps criticizing them. That is why his words as the Prime Minister are not given as much seriousness as they should have been...," Rawat told ANI. Earlier today, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh criticised PM Modi's speech in Parliament, saying he should focus on addressing present challenges rather than invoking Jawaharlal Nehru to distract from his failures. Ramesh alleged that PM Modi has an "obsession" with Nehru, using him to divert attention from current issues. He questioned why the Prime Minister didn't discuss pressing concerns like the India-China border situation, communal tensions and farmers' protests and termed it as an election speech. Speaking to ANI, Ramesh said, "The PM keeps disrespecting Jawaharlal Nehru to hide his shortcomings... Whenever PM Modi speaks in the parliament he proves that he can never speak the truth even by mistake....Yesterday he spoke a lot of lies and he is an expert in giving new shape to history...He spoke about emergency, isn't there an undeclared emergency today? There is an atmosphere of fear, politics of threats...Yesterday's speech in Lok Sabha was an election speech...He is silent on Adani, farmers' protests, and communal tensions in the state. They gave a clean chit to China in 2020..." The Prime Minister on the 75 years of the Constitution had launched a scathing attack against Congress on Saturday and said, "One family of Congress left no stone unturned in hurling a blow to the Constitution". PM Modi had also said that when India was celebrating 25 years of the Constitution, it "was torn apart" and an Emergency was imposed. The special two-day debate in Lok Sabha on 75 years of the Constitution concluded on Saturday. (ANI)
