"Congress abused PM Modi 150 times...": Shaina NC on Kharge's 'poison' remarks on PM Modi
May 26, 2024
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 26 : BJP leader Shaina NC slammed Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge for his remark drawing parallels between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and poison. She said that the remarks showed that the Congress has no vision for India.
"Look at the audacity of the Congress party, they have abused the Prime Minister, 150 times. To say that he is poisonous, to say that in 2047 he will not be there. Let me make a prediction to the Congress...post 4th June, you (Congress) won't be there," Shaina told ANI.
"The fact is that if you can reduce yourself to such poor commentary, it shows you have no vision plan for this country and voters of India will dismiss you as a defuncted regional party," she added.
Earlier on Friday, while addressing a press conference in Karnataka's Kalaburagi on Friday, Kharge said, "Maa Ganga has called him (PM Modi). He is talking about 2047 plans... 2047 tak shaaswat bhi rahenge agar (if he stays alive till 2047). Sometimes he goes diving in sea, sometimes he takes dips in Ganga waters, sometimes he goes into caves, sometimes he meditates alone. I don't know, maybe he will get the fruits of all this 'tapasya'."
"I believe that if you work then you get to fill your stomach. If you do good work, then the results will be good. If you commit bad things, bad results will be there. If somebody does bad things and still gets good things, that's upto them. If I say this is poison and don't touch it, and if you still insist on licking it, then what will be the result? Modi is like that," he added.
Earlier in April last year, Kharge was caught in a similar row amid the high-decibel campaign for the Karnataka Assembly elections. During a public rally in the state, the Congress chief likened PM Modi to a "poisonous snake", drawing a sharp reaction from the BJP.
Kharge later issued a clarification saying his remark wasn't directed at the Prime Minister but at the BJP and its "divisive" ideology.
