Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday explained why the Congress Party opposes the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He said that it’s just for the sake of opposing and is envious of them.
While addressing a public rally in Bharuch, the Prime Minister said, “My problem with Congress politics is simple – they oppose us just for the sake of opposing. They oppose things like bullet train only because they could not take this initiative forward and are envious someone else is”.
He also doesn’t forget to take a jibe at the UPA government, Modi said, “Do you remember the poor law and order situation in Bharuch when Congress was in power? Curfews and violence were common here. BJP changed this, not only in Bharuch but all over Gujarat”.
He added that Bharuch and Kutch are districts with significant Muslim populations which developed rapidly under the BJP tenure in Gujarat and the names of these two districts has figured prominently. He added that when there were floods in Gujarat’s Banaskantha, the Congress leaders were in Bengaluru to save one leader (Rahul Gandhi) from losing a Rajya Sabha poll.
He further said that the curfews and violence were common in Bharuch when the Congress was in power, adding, “BJP changed this, not only in Bharuch but all over Gujarat”. Sharpening his attack on the Congress, Modi accused the opposition party of seeking to divide society on the basis of caste and religion.
Modi lashed out at the Congress, saying that it wanted to create “walls between brothers”. Meanwhile earlier on Sunday, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Modi of not providing basic necessities to the women of poll-bound Gujarat.
