Defaming Others To Hide Own Shortcomings Not Good For Any Country: Kharge Blasts PM Modi’s Berlin Address
“It is not right for the Prime Minister to raise internal issues of his country in other countries and criticize the past government,” ANI quoted Kharge as saying.
New Delhi: Launching a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for raising the country’s “internal issues” in front of other nations, Congress veteran Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday accused the former of “defaming” the past governments in order to hide the “shortcomings” of his regime.
“It is not right for the Prime Minister to raise internal issues of his country in other countries and criticize the past government,” ANI quoted Kharge as saying.
“If we do the same thing to them, what will be their condition? Defaming others in an effort to hide your own shortcomings is not in favour of any country’s goodwill,” he added.
The senior Congress leader’s outburst came a day after Prime Minister Modi criticized the grand old party while addressing the Indian community in Germany during his Europe visit.
Addressing a crowd of over 1600 members of the vibrant Indian community, consisting of students, researchers and professionals, in Berlin, the Prime Minister reportedly referring to the Congress’ election symbol said: “Woh kaunsa panja tha jo 85 paise ghis leta tha (which claw was it that used to take away the 85 paise).”
Referring to former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi’s remarks that only a small fraction of what the country earned reached people’s pockets, he added: “Today the way technology is being included in governance in India, it shows the political will of New India...Now no PM will have to say that I send Re 1 from Delhi but only 15 paise reaches (people)."
Continuing his indirect jibes at the Congress, the Prime Minister said: “Before 2014, wherever you used to see, everything would be a work in progress. I'm not criticising anyone but if a road was constructed, then it's dug up for electricity, then for water.”
