‘Congress-mukt Bharat’ Mahatma Gandhi’s idea, not mine ,says Narendra Modi
After a 90-minute long offensive against Congress in Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi continued his attack on the Opposition in Rajya Sabha saying while it still wanted an “old India” marked by Emergency, scams and violence against Sikhs, the BJP wanted to create a ‘New India’.
He also sought the opposition’s cooperation in the passage of the OBC Bill and the triple talaq bill, besides holding constructive discussion on holding simultaneous polls to Parliament and state assemblies.
Replying to the debate on the motion of thanks on President’s address in the Rajya Sabha, he said the slogan of ‘Congress-mukt Bharat’ was not coined by him but by Mahatma Gandhi who after independence wanted the Congress party to be disbanded as there was no need for it.
“You don’t need ‘New India’, but the India of Emergency, Bofors and chopper scams.”

“We want Mahatma Gandhi’s India as he had said there is no need for Congress now. The slogan of ‘Congress-mukt Bharat’ is not Modi’s idea, it was given by Mahatma Gandhi,” he said amid thumping of desks by BJP members.
The prime minister recalled the words of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi after then prime minister Indira Gandhi’s death, and said the party wanted an India in which thousands of innocent Sikhs were killed.
