BENGALURU: AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday trained his guns at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, blaming him on various issues, from rising inflation to “failure” of foreign policy.
At a rally at which MLC B K Hariprasad took charge as KPCC president, he said the combo of Modi and US President Donald Trump has been destructive for India and the world.
“Modi is destroying India and Trump the world,” he said, slamming Modi for shifting from the neutral stance of the country’s foreign policy. “He brought a bad name to the country by dismantling the neutral foreign policy when Nehru was PM. He is strangulating the people of the country,” he alleged.
“What Modi gave was unemployment, misinformation and false promises. One day or the other, the Modi government will collapse, you wait and watch as he has put countrymen into distress. He has not done any work properly to fulfil the aspirations of labourers, women and students whom he had promised to help,” he said.
He blamed Modi for saffronisation of the education sector by changing the NCERT syllabus and appointing teachers and vice-chancellors with RSS background. He gave a call to party workers to keep in mind Modi’s failures and convey the message to the people that only the Congress government can help them. “Go to farmers, wipe out their tears,” he suggested.
‘No scope for cult worship’
Kharge warned party workers, particularly supporters of Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, of disciplinary action for chanting “DK DK...” during speeches. “There will be no scope for cult worship. Keep quite useless fellows, it’s a Congress event.
Do you think the rest of them (party workers) have come here to sweep the floor,” he said. He warned that he will take disciplinary action after he gets the footage. “I have seen in my over 50 years of career that the party has given power to those whose contribution was not much,” he added.
