New Delhi, February 6, 2025 – The Congress on Thursday strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech in the Rajya Sabha, accusing him of distorting history and avoiding real issues such as unemployment, inflation, and economic inequality.
Key Highlights of Modi’s Speech
PM Modi took direct aim at the Congress party, accusing it of:
✅ Practicing appeasement politics for votes
✅ Prioritizing “family first” over national interest
✅ Suppressing democracy, citing the 1975 Emergency
✅ Opposing Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and his contributions to the Indian Constitution
Modi contrasted his government’s policies with Congress’s past governance, asserting that the BJP follows a “nation first” model focused on inclusive development through its “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” approach.
He further claimed that before 2014, India lacked an alternative governance model, but under BJP rule, policies now prioritize the middle class and the poor rather than select groups for political gains.
Congress Hits Back
Reacting sharply, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh dismissed Modi’s statements, alleging that he:
🚨 “Kept the river of lies flowing” for 90 minutes
🚨 Used “Pradhan Mantri Congress Badnam Yojana” (PM’s scheme to defame Congress)
🚨 Twisted historical facts under “PM Itihaas Tod-Marodh Yojana” (PM’s scheme to manipulate history)
Ramesh further stated:
“He did not say a single word on unemployment, inflation, economic inequality, or the worsening ties with the US. Instead, he spent the entire speech attacking the Congress.”
Congress leaders also accused Modi of using divisive rhetoric instead of addressing governance failures.
Political Battle Intensifies
This latest Congress-BJP showdown highlights the deepening political polarization as the country gears up for the 2025 general elections. While Modi defended his government’s record, the Opposition continues to question his leadership on economic and social issues.
📌 Will BJP’s “Nation First” narrative overpower Congress’s counterattacks?
