PM Modi speech in rajya Sabha

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched yet another scathing attack on the Congress saying that the BJP practices “true secularism” which ensures that common man becomes the primary beneficiary of the central government’s schemes.

Speaking in reply to Motion of Thanks on President Droupadi Murmu’s address in Rajya Sabha, PM Modi in a clear dig at the opposition, asserted that the lotus (BJP’s symbol) will bloom “no matter how much you sling at us.”

‘True secularism’

The Prime Minister said that true secularism is making sure that benefits of various government schemes reach all eligible beneficiaries, not just your people from your vote bank. He said that his government’s priority has always been to empower the public unlike the previous UPA regime that only saw political opportunity.

This is why, he said, LPG connections were provided to 25 crore families across the country.

PM Modi in his tirade against the grand-old party claimed that the Congress merely raised empty slogans like ‘Gareebi Hatao’ (remove poverty), but never actually did anything about it for over four decades while the BJP-regime works hard to meet the expectations and aspirations of the people.

The Prime Minister continued his assault on the decade-long Congress-led rule, comparing the UPA regime’s performance with that of his own government.

He claimed that the Congress always created hurdles in development resulting in India “losing” six decades while smaller countries progressed, adding that Congress only engaged in ‘tokenism’ and never tried to find permanent solutions to problems confronting country.

The BJP government, he said, is always moving ahead with permanent solutions, adding that the Congress “continues with its conspiracies” despite being rejected by voters.

‘Lotus will bloom’

Amid deafening slogans of ‘probe Adani’ and ‘Modi-Adani bhai bhai’ (Modi and Adani are brothers in arms), the Prime Minister, undeterred, remarked that the conduct and tone of some members is disappointing for the whole nation, adding that such people will realize that “Jitna keechad uchhaloge, kamal utna hi khilega (the more mud is thrown at us, the more the lotus will bloom)” and they (opposition) will have an equal role in the blooming of the lotus.

“…we will thank them (opposition),” PM Modi said sarcastically.

In another slide at the opposition, the Prime Minister quoted a couplet in Hindi: “Keechad uske pas hai, mere pas gulal. Jo bhi jiske pas tha usne diya uchaal (all they have is mud, but I have gulal. Each threw whatever they have in their hands)

PM Modi then aimed his attack at Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, who in his speech in the Upper House earlier, had targeted the Prime Minister and his BJP government over the Adani controversy.

The Prime Minister said the Congress chief complains that he (Modi) visits Karnataka’s Kalaburagi but chooses to overlook the work that has been done there, adding that 1.70 crore Jan Dhan bank accounts have been opened in Karnataka, including over 8 lakh accounts in Kalaburagi.

The PM jibed: “so many people getting empowered, while someone’s account getting closed, I can understand the pain.”

During the speech, opposition members relentlessly raised loud slogans demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee investigation into allegations against the Adani Group.

Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi and Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge questioned why parts of their speech on PM Modi and Gautam Adani, in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha respectively, were expunged.

On Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi, while participating in a debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address in Lok Sabha, claimed that Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani’s fortunes skyrocketed after the BJP came to power in 2014 and he rose from the 609th to the second spot in the global rich list.

Gandhi’s remarks drew a sharp response from Treasury benches, with Law Minister Kiren Rijiju asking him not to level “wild allegations” and to furnish proof of his claims.

BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad had accused Rahul Gandhi of making baseless, shameless and reckless allegations and charged that the Congress and the Gandhi family were involved in “big scams” that “tarnished” the country’s image.

Speaking in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi said that people are inquisitive to know about the relationship shared between the business typhoon and the Prime Minister of India. Gandhi in his address also alleged that rules were neglected or altered in order to benefit Adani and his business.

The Wayanad MP also said that across the states be it Tamil Nadu, Kerala, to Himachal Pradesh, he has been hearing only Adani’s name throughout the country. Gandhi further said that someone asked him that despite entering whichever field, Adani’s business never fails.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took a U-turn on his wealth survey remark and said he only wanted to find out the amount of injustice the nation was facing. Rahul Gandhi was addressing Congress’s Social Justice Conference at Delhi’s Jawahar Bhawan where he clarified that he has not said Congress will take action yet. He said   that he was just saying that they will find out how much injustice has been done.

Gandhi further added that everyone should look at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s reaction and said that the moment he said let’s test how much injustice has been done the BJP started saying that this is an attempt to break down the country. The former Congress chief said through the X-ray (wealth survey), the Congress will get to know the root cause of problem.

Gandhi said it is his life’s mission to ensure justice for the 90 % of the population against whom injustice has been done. He alleged Injustice is being done to 90 percent of Indians and the moment he called for checking this injustice, PM Modi and the BJP started attacking him. Gandhi further added that as soon as the INDIA Bloc will form its government the first thing that would be done is caste census.

On April 7, Rahul Gandhi said Congress, if voted to power, would conduct a financial and institutional survey to ascertain the distribution of wealth among the people in the country. Rahul Gandhi was addressing a public rally in Hyderabad after releasing the Congress’s manifesto where he said the survey will be conducted apart from a nationwide caste census that the party has promised if voted to power.

The former Congress chief also spoke about the Ram Mandir inauguration, and said, not a single Dalit, or a tribal was seen at the temple, or during the inauguration of the new Parliament building. He said 90% of the population understands this.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the Congress party for declining to attend the pran pratishtha ritual at the Ayodhya Ram temple on January 22 this year.

The prime minister said Congress leaders consider themselves above Lord Ram and denied invitation for Pran Pratishtha at Ram Temple, while speaking at a rally in Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh. The PM question the people present at the rally that is it not a disrespect of Mata Shabri? Congress leaders inclination toward appeasement politics runs in their family.

For political appeasement, they won’t think twice about stealing the rights of Adivasis, the poor, and Dalits. Poor, young, and women are BJP’s top priorities, Modi said.

PM Modi criticized the Congress again during the rally for claiming that the BJP would alter the constitution.

The leaders of Congress recite the same old phrases whenever an election is about to happen, the PM said. He also said they claim that if the BJP wins power, it will renounce the constitution and abolish reservations. For how long will you continue selling lies?” he asked.

The prime minister continued saying that nobody can change the Constitution, even if Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar were to come and insist on it, it wouldn’t happen.

Those in the Congress threaten to break Modi’s head. Nobody can harm Modi as long as the mothers and sisters of this county stands by him. These mothers and sisters are Raksha Kavach, Modi remarked.

The prime minister further attacked the Congress after Viriato Fernandes, the party’s candidate for South Goa, asserted that Goa was forced to adopt the Indian Constitution.

Referring to his conversation with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Fernandes said he had told him, when Goa was liberated in the year 1961, the Indian Constitution was forced upon us.

The prime minister said, Congress candidate from Goa says Constitution was forced upon Goans; is this not an insult of Ambedkar and Constitution.

Union home minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said neither Congress nor Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee can interfere with the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). He was speaking at the Karandighi rally in West Bengal where he also made the prediction as to how many seats BJP will win in the Lok Sabha elections in West Bengal.

The union home minister asked the masses to cut the money culture. Amit Shah revealed the BJP’s target for West Bengal and said they have set a target of winning 35 Lok Sabha seats from West Bengal. In 2019 Lok Sabha elections the BJP had won 18 out of 42 seats in West Bengal. He asked Mamata Banerjee, what problem will she have if the Buddhist and Hindu refugees from Bangladesh get citizenship in India?

Shah further added if the people of West Bengal want to stop infiltration in the state, then they will have to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister of India again. He said if the people of West Bengal want to free Bengal of violence, stop infiltration in the state, give citizenship to refugees, to stop disrespecting mothers and sisters of the state as it happened in Sandeshkhali, then  only way is to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister.

Amit Shah said that PM Modi had sent Rs 7 lakh crore to West Bengal but the TMC indulged in corruption. He said one can see the houses of Trinamool Congress leaders; 10 years ago they used to live in a hut, moved on cycle and now all of them have 4-storey houses and move around in big cars. He added this is the money of people of West Bengal.
