‘Tumse Na Ho Paega’: PM Modi Slams Rahul Gandhi With ‘Wasseypur’ Jibes

Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a strong critique of the Congress and Rahul Gandhi during his speech in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Amid his criticism, he creatively used popular culture references from Hindi movies like ‘Sholay’ and ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ to make his points against Rahul Gandhi.

Talking about the Lok Sabha election 2024 results, PM Modi said, “The statements made by Congress leaders have even surpassed the film ‘Sholay’.”

Putting a twist on a scene involving Amitabh Bachchan’s character ‘Jai’ and ‘Mausiji’, PM Modi remarked, “Teesri baar hi toh haare hai, par Mausi, moral victory toh hain na.[Have lost for the third time, but at least it’s a moral victory].”

Imitating Bachchan’s character, the Prime Minister pointed out that the Congress had secured zero seats in 13 constituencies, but “Arre mausi, hero toh hai na. [Still a hero even after winning zero seats in 13 states]”.

“Party ki lutiya toh duboyi hai, arey Mausi, party abhi saansein toh le rahi hai (Have sunk the party but it is still breathing),” PM Modi said.

As NDA MPs chuckled at this remark, the opposition persisted with slogans urging PM Modi to address issues concerning Manipur. The Prime Minister was responding to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address in the lower house of Parliament.

In a comprehensive critique, PM Modi also emphasized that the people of India have mandated the Congress to serve as the opposition. ” … and when the logic fails, start crying,” the PM said.

‘Tumse na ho paega’

In another instance, while indirectly addressing Rahul Gandhi for what he described as “childish behavior,” PM Modi referenced the famous line ‘tumse na ho paega’ from the movie ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’. This dialogue, widely known as a meme, is spoken by Ramadhir Singh to his son in the film.

“The entire Congress ecosystem is busy pleasing a child these days (Bachhe ka mann behlane ka kaam chal raha hai),” PM Modi said. He accused the Leader of the Opposition of resorting to drama to garner sympathy. In a pointed critique aimed at Rahul Gandhi’s assertions of being targeted and attacked by the government, PM Modi recounted the story of a child who cried to elicit sympathy without revealing the mistakes he had made. “The House witnessed the wailing of a person with “balak buddhi (childish behaviour),” PM Modi said.

He also delved into history to take a jab at Rahul. “When this childish behavior takes over, they hug anyone in parliament. When this childish behaviour crosses its limits, then they wink while sitting inside the House,” said PM Modi.

“Now the whole country has understood their truth. That is why today the country is telling them – ‘tumse na ho paega’ [you will not be able to do it],” PM Modi said.

People have seen our track record of 10 years: PM Modi

PM Modi emphasized that the people of the country had entrusted his government with the opportunity to serve them for a third consecutive term, having evaluated it against various criteria. Responding to a two-day debate on the President’s address to both houses of Parliament, Modi highlighted that people had witnessed the commitment with which his government had served them over the past 10 years.

“The people of the country have given us this mandate after testing us on every criteria. The people have seen our track record of 10 years,” Prime Minister Modi said in the Lok Sabha, amid vociferous protests by opposition members.

“The people have seen that we have worked with dedication for the welfare of the poor, fulfilling the mantra of ‘public service is God’s service’,” he said.

The Prime Minister expressed empathy towards those who, despite spreading falsehoods and misleading the public, faced a significant defeat in the Lok Sabha elections.

“People have chosen us in this biggest election exercise. I can understand the pain of some people that despite running falsehoods they were comprehensively defeated,” he said, amid chants of “justice for Manipur” by members of the opposition.
