In a blistering attack on the grand old party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi charged the Congress with sowing the seeds of separatism, saying its game-plan of ‘divide and rule’ won’t succeed and the nation would remain one. Replying to the debate in the Lok Sabha on the motion of thanks on President’s address, Prime Minister Modi lashed out at the Congress party for finding fault with his government’s schemes like ‘Fit India’ for the sake of opposing him.
Modi said given the egoistic attitude – “Ahankaar”- of the Congress party, it stood no chance of coming back to power even in the next 100 years. “You can oppose me, but why are you (Congress) opposing the Fit India Movement and other schemes? No wonder you were voted out in many states years ago…I think you have made up your mind not to come to power for the next 100 years,” the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister further told the House that in the new world order post-Covid-19, India should assume its role of a global leader. He said in the new world order post-Covid-19 India is being recognized as a leader. He said India must assume its role of global leadership. “There is a new world order post COVID19 pandemic. We are being recognized as a leader. India must take the global leadership role,” he asserted.
Modi further sought to take on the opposition for allegedly making fun of his government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative. He said the opposition had a problem with ‘Make in India’ because it would prevent them from gathering money.
