Urban Naxals, dynasty politics: PM Modi's blazing attacks on Congress in Rajya Sabha
India Today
PM Narendra Modi launched another blistering attack on the Congress, accusing the party of supporting corruption, casteism, regionalism and dynasty politics.
A day after he went after the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched another blistering attack on the Congress on Tuesday, accusing the party of supporting corruption, casteism, regionalism and dynastic politics.
Replying to the debate on the motion of thanks to the president's address in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, PM Modi alleged that the Congress was in the grip of “Urban Naxals”.
"The Congress, in a way, is in the grip of urban Naxals. That is why its thought has become negative," PM Modi alleged.
The Rajya Sabha adopted the motion of thanks, even as the Congress members walked out of the House during PM Modi’s speech.
PM Modi said if the Congress had not been in power for over 50 years, democracy would have been free of dynasty. “India would have been spared of the blot of Emergency; corruption would not have been institutionalised; the abyss of casteism and regionalism would not have been so deep," PM Modi said.
“If Congress was not there, Sikhs would not have been massacred, Punjab would not have burnt in the fire of terrorism, Kashmiri Hindus would not have had to leave their state, daughters would have been torched in tandoors and common man would not have had to wait for years to get basic amenities like water, power, toilets and roads," he added.
