Saharanpur : Mounting a strong attack on Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the opposition party is cut off from the hopes and aspirations of today’s India and its manifesto reflects the thinking that Muslim League had during the freedom movement.
In his first reaction to Congress manifesto released yesterday, PM Modi said it “completely bears the imprint of the Muslim League” and the remaining part is dominated by the Leftists.
Addressing an election rally in Saharanpur, PM Modi said people of the country feel that the Congress which fought for the country’s independence was finished decades back.
“You would have seen, the way Congress released its manifesto yesterday, it proved that today’s Congress is cut off from the aspirations and expectations of today’s India. The manifesto released by Congress reflects the same thinking that was prevalent in the Muslim League during the freedom struggle. The Congress manifesto completely bears the imprint of the Muslim League and the little remaining part, it is dominated by the Leftists. Congress is not visible in this,” PM Modi said.
He said such a Congress cannot take India forward in the 21st century.
Muslim League and Mohammed Ali Jinnah made the demand for the partition of British India into separate Hindu and Muslim states and after the formation of Pakistan in 1947, the League became Pakistan’s dominant political party.
Congress manifesto was released at the party headquarters by party leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on Friday.
PM Modi said Congress had fought for freedom and many stalwarts including Mahatma Gandhi were associated with it.
“Today, the country is speaking with one voice that the Congress which fought for the country’s independence, that was finished decades back. The Congress that is left has neither policies for in nation’s interest nor vision for country’s progress,” he said.
