Prime Minister lashed out at Congress on the issue of corruption Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the Grand Old Party has always been associated with ’85 per cent commission’, and its ‘Shahi Parivar’ (royal family) is out on bail in connection with scams worth thousands of crores.
Hitting out at the Congress over its president M Mallikarjun Kharge’s “venomous snake” remark, Modi said snakes are the charm around the neck of Lord Shiva and for him the people of the country are the “form of God”. He was rightly compared to the snake on his neck.
There is a reason why the country has lost faith in the Congress and its ‘royal family’: Congress’s identity has always been associated with 85 per cent commission. During the Congress rule, its top leaders and the then Prime Minister used to proudly say that if you send one rupee from Delhi, 15 paise reaches the ground. Congress’s claws used to snatch 85 paise from the poor: Modi
Addressing a public meeting in Kolar, the Prime Minister said, ‘This is not an allegation of the BJP, but a public acceptance of the former Prime Minister of the Congress. Congress, which gets 85 per cent commission, can never work for the development of Karnataka. The prime minister’s attack on the Congress comes after the party’s strong campaign against the ruling BJP in Karnataka over allegations that it was charging “40 per cent commission” from contractors.
Today, 100 percent of the amount sent by the BJP government reaches the beneficiary. In the last nine years, on the strength of ‘Digital India’, under various schemes, Rs 29 lakh crore has been deposited in the bank account of the poor.
He claimed, “If the Congress, which continues to eat 85 per cent commission, Rs 24 lakh crore out of this would not have reached the poor. He told the people that ‘Imagine how many crores of rupees Congress leaders had filled in their lockers before this’.
Stating that the Congress “prosperes” in corruption and it can never act against the corrupt, Modi said, “The Congress can never make any scheme or program that does not involve a scam.” Even today the ‘royal family’ of Congress and its close people are out on bail in a scam worth thousands of crores. Those facing corruption charges and out on bail are coming to Karnataka today and campaigning. The Congress, whose top leaders are facing corruption charges and whose royal family members are out on bail, cannot act against corruption.
In the nine years before 2014, only Rs 5,000 crore worth of corrupt property was seized during the Congress rule, while in the last nine years, under the BJP rule, property worth more than Rs one lakh crore was seized from those who looted the country. seized,” Modi said, adding that only the BJP can act swiftly and take strong action against corruption.
Noting that the Congress was facing the most hardship because of his actions against corruption, the PM said this was the reason why the party’s ‘hate’ against him grew by the day.
They have increased their attacks against me. These days Congress people are giving threats. They are saying ‘Modi teri kabr khudegi’ (Modi will dig your grave). Now the biggest issue of Congress in Karnataka elections is snake and its poison.
The Congress and its leaders were comparing him with a snake and seeking votes from the people, Modi said, “But the snake is the charm around the neck of Lord Shankar (Shiva) and for me the people of the country are the form of God Ishwar.” ‘, He is the form of Shiva. That’s why I am fine as a graceful snake around people’s throats. I know that the people of Karnataka, the land of saints and rituals, will give a befitting reply to the abuses of the Congress with votes. The anger of the people against the Congress will be reflected in the votes on May 10.
Speaking at a campaign rally in poll-bound Karnataka on Thursday, Kharge compared Modi to a poisonous snake. As a row ensued, he later retracted saying that he did not intend to hurt anyone’s sentiments and “the statement was not for PM Modi, but for the ideology he represents”.
