Narendra Modi in Bhopal: Ahead of the upcoming Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday lambasted the Opposition, cautioning that a Congress-led government might have the potential to return Madhya Pradesh to its previous “BIMARU” state status. For the unversed, the term “BIMARU,” a literal translation of which means “ailing,” has frequently been employed to describe the states of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. It is used to suggest that these states have consistently fallen behind in terms of economic development, healthcare provisions, and educational progress.
He made the remarks while addressing a gathering of BJP workers at the “Karyakarta Mahakumbh” in Bhopal. ‘Modi ka mijaaz bhi alag hai, mehnat bhi alag hai aur mission bhi alag hai‘. For me, nothing is above the country and the people of the country… Main abhawon mein raha hu par desh ko nahi rehne dunga…” , the Prime Minister said in Bhopal.
Launching a scathing attack on the Congress, PM said, “These (Congress) are the same people who tried their best to stop the country’s first tribal woman President Droupadi Murmu from becoming the President. These are the same people who have repeatedly tried to humiliate her. These people are the same people who had stopped the entry of daughters in the front lines of the country’s armed forces.”
“Congress has lost all its willpower. The grassroots leaders of Congress have been sitting quietly with their mouths locked… First, Congress was ruined, then they became bankrupt and now they have given their contract to someone else. The party is no longer being run by its leaders”, Modi claimed.
Moreover, he added that Congress is outsourcing everything, from slogans to policies, and this contract is with some urban Naxalites.
Upping the ante further, Modi said, “Poor’s life doesn’t matter for their (Congress) leaders, born with silver spoons in their mouth… For them, poor’s life is adventure tourism… For Congress leaders poor persons’ colonies has become location for video shootings… They have done this in the past too… BJP government is showing the developed and grand face of the country to the world…”
Likening the party to a ‘rusty iron’, Modi said, “Congress has been busy glorifying only one family. Congress has been busy nourishing the corrupt system in India. Congress is like rusty iron, which gets corroded if kept in the rain. Now Congress neither has the ability to see nor understand the national interest.”
