Ajmer, 6th April 2024: In a fiery address at a public meeting in Ajmer, Rajasthan on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing it of peddling falsehoods through its recently unveiled manifesto. Modi asserted that the Congress manifesto epitomized a ‘bundle of lies’, resonating with echoes of India’s partition era, likening the party’s ideology to that of the Muslim League during independence.
Dissecting the contents of the Congress manifesto, Modi contended that it laid bare the party’s dearth of principles and progressive policies. He decried the alleged regressive agenda outlined in the document, cautioning against a backward trajectory that could relegate the nation to the annals of history. Modi implored the electorate to reflect on whether they were willing to allow the nation to regress to bygone eras, emphasizing the need for forward-thinking leadership to propel India into the future.
In a scathing indictment of the Congress’ track record on women’s empowerment, Modi lamented the party’s historical neglect of the plight of millions of women across generations. Pointing fingers at the Congress’ legacy of governance, Modi questioned whether the party should be held accountable for the pervasive socio-economic disparities that plagued the nation post-independence.
Amidst the political rhetoric, Modi seized the occasion to commemorate the foundation day of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), underscoring the party’s commitment to charting a new course for India’s socio-economic and political landscape. Drawing parallels between the party’s inception and the auspicious date of his address in the Pushkar area, Modi invoked the symbolism of renewal and rejuvenation synonymous with both events.
Reflecting on the transformative journey of the nation under BJP rule since 2014, Modi attributed the country’s newfound momentum to the decisive governance and steadfast commitment to development espoused by the party. He juxtaposed the alleged malaise of Congress-era governance with the purported resurgence of progress and prosperity under BJP leadership, heralding a paradigm shift in India’s political landscape.
In a parting shot at the Congress, Modi likened the party to bitter gourd and neem, denoting its purportedly unpalatable and detrimental influence on the country’s socio-political fabric. He derided the Congress as a ‘family-based party’ riddled with corruption, contrasting it with the BJP’s purportedly egalitarian and transformative agenda.
As the electoral narrative intensifies in the run-up to the 2024 elections, Modi’s blistering critique of the Congress manifesto underscores the heightened stakes and entrenched ideological fault lines shaping India’s political discourse.
