Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a rare scathing attack on the opposition unity meeting held in Bengaluru on Tuesday, saying that “their mantra is from the family and for the family”.
Modi also took a swipe at the opposition and said that the people of the country have already decided to bring the NDA back in 2024. “So the people who are responsible for India’s plight have opened their shops… 24 ke liye 26 hone waale rajnaitik dalon par ye bada fit baith’ta hai. They are singing some other song but the reality is something else. A label of something else has been placed but the product belongs to someone else. There is a guarantee of poison of casteism and huge corruption in their shops. Now they are in Bengaluru.. .,” Modi said after inaugurating the new integrated terminal building at the Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
In an apparent dig at the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress, Rahul Gandhi said Modi: “People in the country say this is ‘Kattar Bhrashtachar Sammelan’… Another specialty of this meeting is that if someone is out on bail for corruption of crores of rupees are viewed with great respect. If the whole family is released on bail, they are more honoured… If someone offends the community and is punished by the court, they are honoured…”
Ramping up pre- and post-poll violence in West Bengal, the Prime Minister said those who had gathered at an opposition meeting remained silent when asked about their allegations of corruption… There was violence during the panchayat elections in West Bengal and all they were calm. Congress and Left workers pleaded for their safety. But their leaders were selfish enough to leave the workers in this dire situation… In Tamil Nadu, several cases of corruption have been exposed now, but they (the opposition) have already declared that they are clean.”
A total of 26 like-minded opposition parties are closing ranks with the common goal of taking on the BJP in the next Lok Sabha elections.
On the other hand, the BJP is holding a meeting of the 38-party National Democratic Alliance or NDA in the state capital on Tuesday. The NDA meeting will be chaired by Modi. The NDA meeting is being organized to mark the completion of nine years of central government under Modi.
Meanwhile, the first day of the opposition party meeting began with a dinner hosted by Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. After the dinner, Congress leader BK Hariprasad said the meeting started with a good signal and it will be the end of BJP in 2024.
