On the occasion of BJP’s 33rd Foundation Day celebrations in Ahmedabad on Saturday, Narendra Modi has launched counter attack against Congress party and targets Rahul Gandhi.
Criticizing Rahul’s recent talk at the CII meet, the Gujarat Chief Minister said he was “disappointed” with Congress Vice President’s speech at the summit.
Rejecting Rahul’s idea of India as a “beehive buzzing with the energy and aspirations of a billion people”, Narendra Modi said, “Country is our mother”.
“I happened to listen to a speech by a Congress leader two days back, whose words are considered to be very important for that party. I was deeply shocked and pained when he compared India to beehive. For you, this might be a beehive but for us this country is our mother. Hundred crore people of this country are our brothers and sisters. This is a sacred land of saints and seers. Atal Bihari Vajpayee used to say every particle of this land is Lord Shankar for us,” Modi said.
“Friends from Congress, please do not insult our country. If you do not understand the language of people of India, go and learn from somewhere. But due to your ignorance, do not try to destroy the culture and tradition of this country,” Modi added.
“I want to tell my Congress friends that your arrogance of being in power in Delhi is not going to survive for long,” Modi said.
Slamming Congress spokesperson Rashid Alvi for terming him “Yamaraj (God of death)” Modi said, “Forget about the Congress ever reforming itself for it can never reform…. The kind of language they are using, the expletives and the way they are misleading the people. The people of Gujarat have responded to the abusive language used by the Congress leaders against the BJP. They have wiped the Congress off from Gujarat for trying to mislead the people of Gujarat.”
Addressing the supporters on the occasion, party president Rajnath Singh said, “It hurts when a leader like Modi is called “Maut ka saudagar”. People will teach Congress a lesson for calling Modi ‘Yamraj’.”
“There is PM, party president and half a power centre has come now in the form of new vice-president. So, there are two and half power centres. But BJP is not worried about them,” Rajnath Singh attacked congress.
