Congress ignored India to serve Gandhi family , says Narenda Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday accused the Congress of spending its time in power eulogising the Gandhi family at the cost of India’s development.
Modi also dubbed NPAs as the UPA government’s “sin” and reeled out figures to rebuff opposition criticism on unemployment and other issues.
In his over 90-minute reply in the Lok Sabha to a debate on the motion of thanks for the president’s address, Modi alleged that lies were being spread to create a sense of disappointment among the middle class about his government.

Throughout Modi’s speech, Congress members were in the Well demanding that promises made to Andhra Pradesh following its division be fulfilled, questioning the Rafale deal and raising slogans against the PM.
The Prime Minister, however, alleged Andhra Pradesh was suffering due to the “hasty decision” of the erstwhile UPA government to bifurcate the state in 2014 for “political benefits”.
The Congress had similarly divided the country at the time of Independence for its selfish interests, he said.
“This is the same party that divided India. For decades, one party devoted all their energies in singing paeans to one family. The interests of the nation were overlooked just for the interests of one family,” he said in his address.
