Congress Became A Puppet In The Hands Of Force Hostile To India’s Development: PM
Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the Congress has become a puppet in the hands of forces hostile to India’s development.
Addressing an election rally in poll-bound southern Assam’s Silchar, Mr Modi said: “The forces around the world are unable to digest India’s rapid development, the Congress is increasingly becoming a puppet in the hands of these forces.”
Continuing his tirade against the Congress party, Mr Modi accused the grand old party of trying to create panic among Indians amid the war in the Middle East, while the government was trying to minimize the impact of the conflict on citizens.
The Prime Minister said, “Our government is making every possible effort to ensure that the citizens of our country face the least possible hardship. Our aim is to minimize the impact of this war on our citizens. During this critical period, the Congress party was expected to fulfill its role as a responsible political entity. However, the Congress has once again failed in this vital duty of national interest.”
Pointing out that the Congress party has been wiped out by the election results in states, Mr. Modi said, “You brought down the Congress from Assam. Today, every state in the country is teaching a lesson to the Congress. The Congress is losing election after election. In the near future, the Congress is set to suffer a century of defeat.”
Accusing that the Congress has no vision for the nation, he said, “Everyone should be careful of the Congress party. They are running the industry of making fake reels just to spread propaganda.”
He regretted, “Congress is making every attempt to create panic within the country, hoping that the nation will be embroiled in difficulties so that it can later inflict endless abuse on Modi.”
Addressing the Youth Congress protest at the Artificial Intelligence Summit in New Delhi, Mr Modi said the opposition party was acting out of desperation. “Motivated by the desperation of defeat, the Congress launched an attack against the nation itself. Congress leaders devoted themselves to maligning the country,” he said.
Announcing projects worth Rs 23,550 crore in Assam’s Silchar town on Saturday, the Prime Minister said, “Congress seems to have nothing left to do but tear its own clothes in desperation. The entire nation has condemned it.” He took part in the ‘bhoomi poojan’ for the Rs 22,864-crore access controlled highway between Silchar in Cachar district and Shillong in Meghalaya, the first of its kind in the Northeast.
The 166 km four-lane greenfield high-speed corridor will reduce the distance between Guwahati and Silchar from 295 km to 252 km and reduce travel time from 8.5 hours to around 5 hours.
The Prime Minister also took part in the ‘bhoomi poojan’ for an elevated corridor on NH-306 from Trunk Road near Capital Point to Rangirkhari Point in Silchar, which will be built at a cost of Rs 565 crore.
This project aims to ease traffic congestion on one of Silchar’s busiest roads, improve connectivity with neighboring states such as Mizoram, Tripura and Manipur and contribute to the economic development of Barak Valley.
The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of the Rs 122-crore Agricultural College at Patharkandi in Karimganj district. These are part of projects worth Rs 47,800 billion announced by the Chief Minister in the state since Friday.
