PM attacks Cong, terms it as manufacturer of lies

Saturday, 17 November 2018 | Staff Reporter | Bhopal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday called the Congress party a manufacturer of lies. The Prime Minister while addressing an election rally at Shahdol said, “These elections are not about who would win or who would not win. These elections are about welfare of people of Madhya Pradesh.”

"What did the four generations of a party do for our country? However, a tea-seller, did what not in just four years?” he added.

Modi said, he was ready for a contest between the performance of four generations of the Nehru-Gandhi family and that of four years of a chaiwala, and asserted his government provided the poor people with amenities like access to banks, power and LPG which the Congress was unable to do during its 55-year rule.

He further said the Congress, which was seeking an account of the BJP government's performance, should explain what it did for the state during its over five-decade rule.

Underlining the initiatives taken by the Madhya Pradesh Government-led by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in the past 15 years, the Prime Minister said that the Congress would never speak of the good work Chouhan did during his three tenures.

He said that the Congress party was in power in Madhya Pradesh for so long, but did not do anything for the development of the people. One cannot draw a comparison between the development work done by the Congress party and the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government.

Speaking on the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha on July 20 this year, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had targeted Modi and projected the RSS, BJP and its top leaders as agents of anger and hatred and thanked them for making him understand the meaning of being a Congressman, an Indian and a Hindu and enabling him to have only love for them. Gandhi had reacted a flutter when he went across to the treasury benches and embraced the Prime Minister.

 Accusing the Congress of spreading lies, Modi on Friday said he was surprised as to how the country's oldest political party could get elected "for so many years". Modi said it was because the opposition was less powerful then and the media was not as vibrant as it is now.

"How can anyone trust Congress? When they were in power in MP and Chhattisgarh, they did not fulfill even what they had promised in their election manifesto," he added.
