On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a vicious attack on the Congress, accusing the long-standing party of attempting to instill fear in Indians during the Middle East conflict while the government is attempting to lessen its effects on the populace. PM Modi further accused the Congress of being a puppet in the hands of powers opposed to India’s progress while speaking at an election rally in Silchar, Assam.
“Our government is making every possible effort to ensure that the citizens of our country face the fewest hardships possible. Our objective is to minimise the impact of this war on the nation’s citizens. At this critical juncture, it was expected that the Congress party would fulfil the role of a responsible political entity. However, Congress has once again failed in this vital task concerning the national interest,” the Prime Minister said.
“The Congress is making every attempt to create panic within the country, hoping the nation gets entangled in difficulties, so that they can subsequently heap endless abuse upon Modi,” he added.
Escalating the attack, the PM alleged, “The forces across the globe that are unable to digest India’s rapid development, the Congress is increasingly becoming a mere puppet in the hands of these very forces.”
The Prime Minister further attacked the Congress, saying the party has been electorally wiped out in state after state and mocked that it is on course to soon score a century of defeats. “You have ousted the Congress from Assam. Today, every state in the country is teaching the Congress a lesson. The Congress is losing election after election. In the near future, Congress is poised to hit a century of defeats,” PM Modi said.
Referring to the Youth Congress protest at the AI Summit in New Delhi, Modi said the opposition party was acting out of desperation.
“Driven by the desperation of defeat, the Congress has launched an offensive against the nation itself. Congress leaders have dedicated themselves to maligning the country,” he said. “It appears the Congress has nothing left to do but tear its own clothes in desperation. The entire nation has condemned this,” the Prime Minister added.Additionally, PM Modi unveiled projects worth Rs 23,550 crore in Silchar, such as the foundation for a Rs 565-crore elevated corridor on NH-306 in Silchar, a Rs 122-crore College of Agriculture at Patharkandi in Karimganj district, and a Rs 22,864-crore 166-km access-controlled expressway between Silchar and Shillong. These were a part of the Rs 47,800 crore worth of development projects that the state has been announcing since Friday.
