NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of inciting people and dividing society through his election speeches, claiming that the PM tries to ‘create division’ wherever he goes.
“No prime minister before Modi has ever indulged in inciting people like he has been doing. He speaks about democracy repeatedly but doesn’t adhere to the tenets of democracy,” said Kharge at a press conference.The Congress chief was joined by NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray, and other leaders.
When asked about PM Modi’s statement that the Congress will bulldoze the Ram mandir in Ayodhya and restore Article 370 if the INDIA bloc is voted to power, Kharge responded, “We have never used a bulldozer on anyone. Modi has the habit of lying and inciting people about things which Congress will never do or the things that are impossible to be implemented.” Regarding the party’s stand on Article 370, Kharge said, “I am not answerable to Modi. We will implement what we have promised in our manifesto.”
Kharge further slammed PM Modi, saying, “Wherever he goes, he tries to create division, speaks of dividing society.” He also pointed out that PM Modi had previously described the Congress’ manifesto as a Muslim League manifesto but now calls it a Maoist manifesto. Kharge assured that reservation as enshrined in the Constitution will continue and nobody can touch it.
Uddhav Thackeray, speaking at the event, said, “‘Achche din’ are coming from June 4 (when Lok Sabha poll results will be declared) when INDIA bloc-led government takes charge.”
“PM Modi calls us ‘nakli’ (fake) Shiv Sena, tomorrow he may call RSS as ‘nakli Sangh’,” the former chief minister added.
Uddhav also alleged that the BJP is floating the narrative of ‘Pakistan flags in our rally’ to divert people’s attention from issues like jobs.
Sharad Pawar stated that after coming to power, the INDIA bloc government’s duty will be to protect all religious places in the country. Kharge also mentioned that if elected, the opposition alliance‘s government will implement a simple, single rate GST, replacing the present GST.
