'Assurance Being Given By Those Who Don't Have Own Political Guarantee': PM Modi On Oppn Unity — Top Points

PM Narendra Modi said “dynastic parties” only care about the welfare of their families and those facing corruption charges have "come together" with those who are sentenced for scams.

New Delhi: Taking a dig at the Opposition parties’ effort to forge a united front to take on the BJP in Lok Sabha elections next year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the Congress and the other "family-centric" parties are giving "false" guarantees to people and the differences between them show there will be no united Opposition. Further slamming the parties, PM Modi said “dynastic parties” only care about the welfare of their families and those facing corruption charges have come together with those who are sentenced for scams.

PM Modi made the remarks while launching the National Sickle Cell Aneamia Eradication Mission 2047, where he unveiled a portal and released a guideline for the management of the disease at Shahdol in Madhya Pradesh.

Here’s What PM Modi Said:

• Taking a dig at the Opposition, PM Modi said, “Beware of false (poll) guarantees being given by family-centric parties including Congress. Such people have brought schemes of guarantees though they don't have their own (political) guarantee.”


• “Amid the promises of guarantees, you also have to be careful of those who give false guarantees. Identify their hidden deception and game in the name of false guarantee,” Modi said, adding, “The guarantee of such people (Opposition parties) claiming to have come together today means there is something wrong somewhere. Their old statements are going viral on social media. They have always been cursing each other by drinking water. This means this is not a guarantee of the opposition unity.”


• "Whenever they give a guarantee of pension, it means employees are not even going to get salaries on time. When they give a guarantee of providing cheaper petrol it means they are planning to increase taxes,” PM Modi said on Opposition guarantees on fuel prices and pension.


• "When they give a guarantee of (providing) jobs, it means they will bring policies to ruin industries and business...The guarantees being given by parties like Congress means a flaw in the intention and harm to the poor,” PM Modi said.


• He said these “dynastic parties” work only for the welfare of their families. "They do not have the guarantee of taking the normal family of the country forward. Those who are facing corruption charges are out on bail. They are together with those who are sentenced for scams,” he said.


• "Stay away from such false guarantees. They are making a statement against the country in one voice. They are holding meetings with anti-national elements. They will leave after giving a guarantee but you will have to suffer,” he added.
