Meanwhile, in a blistering attack on the Gandhi family, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday asked why none of them use the Nehru surname despite the Congress launching over 600 schemes in the name of "Nehru and Gandhi". Responding to a debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President's address in Rajya Sabha, PM Modi accused the Congress of adopting only "tokenism" to solving problems the country faced.
"Some had problems with names of schemes of govt and Sanskrit words in the names. I read in a report that 600 government schemes were in the Gandhi-Nehru family's name. If Nehru was such a great person, why the family shies away from using 'Nehru' surname," PM Modi said in Rajya Sabha as Opposition members trooped in the Well of the House raising slogans of "Modi-Adani bhai-bhai".
Continuing his broadside against Congress, PM Modi said former prime minister Indira Gandhi "misused" Article 356 of Constitution 50 times to dismiss elected state governments.
"Which party and people in power misused Article 356? Elected govts were toppled 90 times. Who were those who did that? A Prime Minister used Article 356 fifty times and that name is Indira Gandhi. In Kerala, a Communist govt was elected which wasn't liked by Pandit Nehru and was toppled," the PM said.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi on Wednesday demanded that action be taken against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his certain “objectionable” comments made in Lok Sabha, and that they be expunged from the records.
Certain remarks of Gandhi made in the House on Tuesday have already been expunged from the records.
As soon as the House met for the day, Joshi raised the issue saying that under Parliamentary rules one should serve a notice beforehand if he or she wants to make allegations against anyone.
