In Parliament, PM Modi Calls Congress Leader Of Tukde Tukde Gang, Talks About India’s Role Post Covid

While replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President's address, in Lok Sabha, PM Modi also slammed the Congress party for opposing government schemes like Fit India Moment.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched a blistering attack on the Congress Party and said that the British rule in India ended long back, but the Congress adopted their policy of “divide and rule”, and has now become the leader of Tukde Tukde gang. He also blamed the party for acting irresponsibly during the Covid pandemic and instigating migrant labourers to travel during the lockdown. “During the first wave of COVID19, the Congress gave free train tickets to migrant workers to leave Mumbai. At the same time, Delhi government told migrant workers to leave the city and provided them buses. As a result, Covid spread rapidly in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand,” he said

While replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s address, in Lok Sabha, PM Modi also slammed the grand old party for opposing government schemes like Fit India Moment. “You can oppose me, but why are you (Congress) opposing the Fit India Movement and other schemes? No wonder you were voted out in many states years ago…I think you have made up your mind not to come to power for the next 100 years.”

“Nagaland voted for Congress 24 years ago, Odisha voted for you 27 years ago. You won with full majority in Goa 28 years ago. In 1988, Tripura voted for Congress. West Bengal voted for Congress in 1972. You take credit for creation of Telangana but the public did not accept you,” he added.

Here are some of the key takeaways from PM Modi’s Speech in Parliament:

1. There is a new world order post COVID19 pandemic. We are being recognized as a leader. India must take the global leadership role
2. During the first wave of COVID19, you (Congress) gave free train tickets to migrant workers to leave Mumbai. At the same time, Delhi govt told migrant workers to leave the city and provided them buses. As a result, Covid spread rapidly in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand
3. Nagaland voted for Congress 24 yrs ago, Odisha voted for you 27 yrs ago. You won with full majority in Goa 28 yrs ago. In 1988, Tripura voted for Congress. West Benga voted for Congress in 1972. You take credit for creation of Telangana but the public did not accept you
4. You can oppose me, but why are you (Congress) opposing the Fit India Movement and other schemes? No wonder you were voted out in many states years ago…I think you have made up your mind not to come to power for the next 100 years
5. After losing so many elections there is no change in your (Congress) ‘Ahankaar’ (ego)
6. Today poor people of the country are getting a gas & connection, house & toilets. They have their own bank account. But unfortunately, some people’s (opposition) minds are still stuck in 2014
7. We need to strengthen our small farmers. Our focus is on them. But those who don’t know the pain of small farmers don’t have any right to do politics in the name of the farmers

10. Congress’ P Chidambaram is writing articles on economy in the newspapers these days. In 2012, he said that public not troubled when they’ve to spend Rs 15 on a water bottle & Rs 20 on ice cream but the public can’t tolerate when Re 1 increase in prices of wheat & rice
