Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday slammed Congress and said that expecting ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ from the oldest party would be a huge mistake.
He alleged that Congress’ model of politics is “lies, corruption, family and appeasement.”In Congress model, the first thing is Family First”. Their energy was spent on this,” he said.
“Today, attempts are being made to spread caste poison in the society…For many years, OBC MPs from all parties had been demanding constitutional status for the OBC Panel. But their demand was rejected, as it might not have suited their (Congress) politics. But we gave constitutional status to this panel,” he added.
Here are the top quotes:
- “The president’s speech was inspirational, effective and also showed the way forward to us all.”
- “Expecting ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ from Congress will be a huge mistake. It is beyond their thinking and it also doesn’t suit their roadmap because the whole party is dedicated only to one family.”
- “The people of the nation have tested, understood and supported our model of development. Our model of development is – ‘nation first’.”
- “After 2014, India got an alternate model of governance. This model is not focused on appeasement, but on satisfaction.”
- “A lot has been said here on ‘Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas’. I fail to understand, what’s the problem this. ‘Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas’ is our responsibility, and it is for this that the country has given us the opportunity to sit here. But as far as Congress is concerned, I believe expecting ‘Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas’ from them would be a big mistake.”
- “For three decades, OBC MPs from both Houses, from all parties, had been asking the Govt to give constitutional status to the OBC Commission. It was denied, time and again. It did not suit their politics at that time. After decades of wait, we gave constitutional status to this Commission, respecting the community’s demands.”
- “We expanded reservation for Divyangs. We worked in mission mode for Divyangs. We not just made several schemes for the Divyangs, but also ensured they were implemented. We also ensured legal rights for the Transgender community. This only goes on to show that we live by the ideal of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’.
- “Congress hated Baba Saheb Ambedkar so much, there was so much anger against him that it was irritated by everything he (Baba Saheb) said.All its documents are available.Due to this anger, everything was done to defeat Baba Saheb in the elections twice.”
- “Baba Saheb was never considered worthy of Bharat Ratna. The people of this country, the entire society respected the sentiments of Baba Saheb. Then today Congress is forced to say ‘Jai Bhim’.”
- “Kharge ji recites sher, and I remember one too: ‘Tamasha karne walon ko kya khabar, hamne kitne tufanon ko paar kar, diya jalaya hai’.”
- “Famous actors like Balraj Sahni and poets were jailed only because they protested against Congress Govts. Hridaynath Mangeshkar Ji, brother of Lata Mageshkar Ji, had written a poem on Veer Savarkar and wanted to sing it on Akash Vani. He was banned from Akash Vani for life.”
- “This country has also seen a period of emergency. The country knows how the Constitution was crushed, how the spirit of the Constitution was trampled for the sake of power. During the Emergency, famous film actor Dev Anand ji was asked to publicly support the Emergency. But Dev Anand ji refused to do this. Therefore, all the films of Dev Anand ji were banned on Doordarshan.”
- “The word Constitution does not suit the mouth of Congress.For the sake of power and for the ego of the royal family, lakhs of families of the country were destroyed and the country was turned into a prison.The struggle continued for a very long time.In the end, those who considered themselves to be great ‘Tees Maar Khan’ had to accept the power of the people, had to kneel down and due to the power of the people, the Emergency was lifted from the country.”
