Prime Minister Narendra Modi sharply criticized Rahul Gandhi during his response to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address in the Lok Sabha. Modi expressed empathy for those who “suffered a huge defeat despite spreading lies continuously.” He highlighted that the opposition, led by Rahul Gandhi, faced a significant loss but still portrayed it as a “moral victory.”
He Said, “The statements of Congress leaders have even surpassed film Sholay. You all would remember Mausi ji from the film. Teesri baar toh haare hain par Mausi ji, moral victory toh hai na. Arey Mausi 13 rajyon mein zero seat aayi hai par hero to hai na. Party ki lutiya toh duboyi hai, arey Mausi party abhi saansein toh le rahi hai”.
Targeting Rahul Gandhi
Without directly naming him, Modi referred to Rahul Gandhi as having a “Balak Budhhi” He remarked that despite losing ten elections since 1984, the Congress party has not surpassed 250 seats, currently stuck at 99. Modi used this to emphasize the Congress’s persistent failures.
Modi criticized Rahul Gandhi’s behavior in the Lok Sabha, describing it as immature. He stated, “Baalak buddhi ko kaun samjhaye ki tumne fail hone ka record bana diya hai…Jab yeh baalak buddhi poori tarah sawaar ho jati hai toh sadan mein bhi kisi ke gale pad jate hai. Yeh baalak buddhi jab apni seemaye kho deti hai, toh sadan ke andar baithke aankhein maarte hain,” a clear reference to Rahul Gandhi’s past actions.
Congress’s Consecutive Defeats
Modi pointed out that for the first time in history, Congress has not managed to cross 100 seats in three consecutive elections. He suggested that it would have been better for Congress to accept their defeat and respect the people’s mandate. Instead, they are engaged in a futile attempt to convince the citizens that they achieved a moral victory.
Modi further criticized Rahul Gandhi for using images of gods in the Lok Sabha for political gain. He stated, “We saw childish behavior in Lok Sabha yesterday. Images of our Gods cannot be used for personal political interests.”
