New Delhi: In a scathing attack on the opposition parties who are holding a meeting at Bengaluru, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said people see it as a gathering of the “corrupt” and alleged that these parties provide cover to each other when “their corruption is exposed”.
While addressing the gathering after the inauguration of the new Integrated Terminal Building at Veer Savarkar International Airport in Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Prime Minister took a dig at the opposition using terms like “jamat” and “kunba” (meaning family or clan), warning the public to remain vigilant. He took a jibe at the opposition parties, using words like “jamat” and “kunba” and urged people to stay alert.
“People of the country say that this is a ‘Kattar bhrashtachar sammelan’… Another speciality of this meeting is that if someone is out on bail in a corruption of crores of Rupees, they are seen with great respect. If the entire family is out on bail, they are more honoured. If someone insults a community and is punished by the court, he is honoured,” he said.
PM Modi referred to a Bollywood song and said people put up many faces. He accused the opposition parties of pursuing dynastic politics.
“In democracy, it is of the people, by the people, and for the people. But for the dynastic political parties, it is of the family, by the family, and for the family. Family first, nation nothing. This is their motto. There is hatred, corruption, and appeasement politics. The country is a victim of the fire of dynastic politics. For them, only their family’s growth matters, not that of the poor in the country,” he said.
Expressing confidence in the people’s decision to bring the BJP-led NDA back to power in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he pointed out the violence that occurred during the panchayat polls in West Bengal. He blamed the Congress and the Left for abandoning their own people to suffer amidst the violence, driven solely by their selfish interests.
The Prime Minister also accused the Rajasthan Congress of being involved in cases of paper leaks, atrocities against women, and a ‘liquor scam’ under the Aam Aadmi Party’s rule in Delhi. He urged the public to identify and remain vigilant against such individuals and their actions.
Opposition parties are holding their second meeting in Bengaluru to forge a common front to take on the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls next year. The two-day meeting in Bengaluru is being attended by 26 parties and will conclude on Tuesday.
