trouble: Narendra Modi
Zee Media Bureau
Pune: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) poll panel
chief Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a
scathing attack on the UPA government and
the Congress, claiming that they had taken the
people of the country for granted. Addressing
party workers in Pune, the Gujarat Chief
Minister said that the dynasty politics of the
country had ruined the dreams and aspirations
of the common man.
Reiterating his slogan of a 'Congress-free
India', Modi said that the root cause of the
problems was the vote bank politics being
played by the Centre.
"They feel that they should keep winning
elections, indulge in vote bank politics, collect
votes and run the country as per their whims
and fancies," said BJP poll panel chief.
Hitting out at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh,
the BJP leader pointed that rupee, which was
equivalent to dollar at the time of
independence, is falling continuously despite
the government being headed by a master
economist. He said he failed to understand
such economics.
Taking a dig at the government over the issue,
Modi said that the value of rupee against dollar
would "soon reach the age of the Finance
Minister".
Pointing that the strength of currencies of
smaller countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka and
Maldives were not falling, the BJP poll panel
chief said, "Till we don't create a Congress-free
India, this country will not be free of
problems."
He further targeted the political experts and
media, saying why they did not question the
Congress about its unfulfilled promise of
removing poverty, made 35 years ago.
Terming it as cheating with the people of the
country, Modi said that Congress had lost all
"shame" and had "indirectly accepted that they
could not eradicate poverty".
Without taking the name of Congress vice
president Rahul Gandhi, the BJP leader
attacked him, saying he goes to the homes of
poor, shares food with them to show the
"legacy" of his elders, suggesting they have not
been able to eradicate poverty.
He said that the government was not giving
food to the people, instead it was bringing just
laws for them. Attacking the Centre over the
Food Security bill, the Gujarat Chief Minister
said, "Instead of bringing a good food security
bill, they hurried with an ordinance."
According to Modi, the Congress hurried with
the ordinance as it did not trust its own
partners, and neither did it want to share the
credit of the Food Security bill with them.
"The country doesn't want more acts, it now
wants action," added Modi.
Referring to the beheading of Indian soldiers
by the Pakistani forces, Modi said that the
government was so weak that it could not even
stand face-to-face with its neighbour.
He further alleged that the UPA was misusing
government agencies, and claimed that
whenever there was a problem, the Centre
wore the mask of secularism.
