PM Modi Jabs Congress In Maharashtra: 'Party Being Run By Gang Of Urban Naxals'

Prime Minister Modi accused Congress of being controlled by extremists and having a "dangerous agenda" during a public rally in Washim.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday trained guns on Congress saying the party is being ruled by a gang of urban Naxals. He also asked people to unite to defeat the "dangerous agenda" of the grand old party. 

Addressing a rally in the Washim district of Maharashtra, he said, "They (Congress) think that if we all unite, then their agenda to divide the country will fail." 

“Everyone can see how closely Congress stands with people who don’t harbour good intentions for India,” Modi said.

“Drugs worth thousands of crores of rupees were seized in Delhi recently. A Congress leader is suspected to be the kingpin. Congress wants to contest elections from the money it gets by pushing the youth towards drugs,” he added. 

Further attacking the Congress, Modi said that the party's thinking has been foreign from the very beginning. “Like the British rule, this Congress family also does not consider Dalits, backward and tribals as their equals," he said. 

"They feel that India should be ruled by only one family. That is why they have always maintained a derogatory attitude towards the Banjara community,” he added.

He also offered prayers at Jagdamba Mata temple at Poharadevi. Modi paid tributes to Sant Sevalal Maharaj and Sant Ramrao Maharaj at their 'samadhis' in Poharadevi.
