PM Modi mocks Parliament for counting 44 seats in 2014 national elections
New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today mentioned Jawaharlal Nehru and cited widely that he targeted the opposition Congress in parliament, without naming Rahul Gandhi, who attacked the government last week.
Addressing his mounting criticism of inflation, Prime Minister Modi returned to Jawaharlal Nehru’s speech to the nation from the Red Fort as India’s first Prime Minister.
He said his government was trying to keep inflation under control and that it was a top priority for him.
“Pandit Nehru said from the Red Fort (when there was no globalization) – ‘the war in Korea is affecting us. That’s why the prices are going up and they are out of our control. “. The first Prime Minister of India raised his hand in front of the face of the country,” Prime Minister Modi said.
“If something happens in the US, it will affect the prices of our goods. Imagine how severe the inflation problem is – Nehru had to say this from the Red Fort. If you take power today, you would blame inflation on the coronavirus and run away.”
When Parliament protested, Prime Minister quipped: “You complain that I don’t take Pandit ji’s name. Today I will continue to say Nehru ji – enjoy… You keep saying Modi-ji doesn’t take a name of Nehru-ji. So I am fulfilling your wish.”
Mocking the National Assembly over the tally of 44 seats in the 2014 national election, Prime Minister Modi said the National Assembly won the election based on the slogan “Garibi Hatao (elimination of poverty)” but the slogan “Garib has won the election”. delete them”.
Prime Minister Modi said that those who do not draw lessons from history risk “losing themselves in it”.
He also countered Rahul Gandhi’s claim that only a handful of industrialists had government support.
“Some people in Congress called some business people variant corona. They called it variant AA. During the government of Nehru and Indira Gandhi, people used to say Tata-Birla ki Sarkar. You are speaking their language. “, Prime Minister Modi said.
“People who are used to living in the palace don’t even know what the small farmers go through,” he said.
Last week, Rahul Gandhi mentioned Jawaharlal Nehru, his grandfather, in his speech in parliament.
“My great-grandfather was jailed for 15 years for trying to make this. My grandmother (Indira Gandhi) was shot 32 times. My father (Rajiv Gandhi) was blown up. So I know a little bit about this. this. You are messing with something very, very dangerous. I advise you to stop. If you don’t stop, you will create problems. The problem has already begun,” said Mr. Gandhi. while accusing the BJP of being arrogant and not listening to the nations.
