PM Modi Accuses Congress of Creating Economic Unrest in India
New Delhi, India – Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress party during his speech in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. He accused Congress of causing economic unrest in the country by taking uneconomic steps in the states they govern.
Modi said, “The Congress is conspiring calculatively to spread aarthik aarajkta (economic unrest) in the country. During the time of elections, the promises that they made and the economic steps that they are taking in the states governed by them, it is paving the way to take the country towards economic unrest.”
He added, “They are consciously conspiring so that their states become an economic burden on the country.”
The Congress is in power in Telangana and Karnataka, and is a partner with the DMK in Tamil Nadu and the JMM in Jharkhand.
Modi also claimed that Congress had allegedly said they would spread unrest if election results were not in their favor. He said, “They clearly announced during their electoral campaigns that if the electoral results do not come as per their wish, they will create unrest in the country. They announced that people will assemble and spread unrest. Spreading unrest is their motto.”
Furthermore, Modi accused Congress of creating misunderstandings during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). He said, “They tried to create unrest by questioning India’s electoral process. They spread unrest about CAA, and tried to create misunderstanding among people and the entire ecosystem strengthened them so that their political goals are fulfilled. The country has also seen how they instigated the country to get involved in riots.”
