Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stepping up his campaigning for the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections, took aim at the Congress, accusing its esteemed president Mallikarjun Kharge of being controlled by a remote. Speaking at an election rally in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, on Wednesday, Prime Minister Modi stated that the public must continue to be aware of the Congress party.
“This is the time to remain aware of the Congress party. It is that party that snatches money belonging to the poor, indulges in scams, and divides society for chair; for Congress, the development of a state and the nation is not important…Congress president is controlled by a remote. He can’t do much. When the remote works, he abuses Sanatan (Dharma). Yesterday, when the remote was not working, he spoke about Pandavas and said there are five Pandavas in the BJP. We are proud that we are walking on the path laid by the Pandavas,” PM Modi said.
Addressing a campaign meeting at Thatipur in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge termed the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Income Tax (IT), Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan as the ‘panch pandavas’ of the BJP.
“But these are not the actual pandavas (of epic Mahabharata fame), but the ones that need to be defeated,” Kharge clarified.
