PM slams Congress’s ‘cancel culture’, ‘same product launch’ dig at Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi,Feb 5 :  Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday teared into the Congress ahead of 2024 Lok Sabha polls and asserted that it was caught in ‘cancel culture’, a reference to the party’s decision to oppose several government schemes.

“Congress is stuck in cancel culture. We say Make in India, they say cancel, We say Aatmanirbhar Bharat, Congress says cancel. We say Vocal for Local, Congress says cancel… How long will you keep harbouring so much hatred, you are trying to cancel even the country’s achievement?” PM Modi said in his last speech in the current Lok Sabha.

PM Modi further targeted the Congress and said that it seems they have vowed to remain in opposition for decades, much like they were in power for years.

“I appreciate the Opposition’s resolve to remain in the opposition for a long time. For several decades you were sitting here (in the treasury benches), but now you have resolved to stay there (opposition benches) for several decades. The people will bless you and keep you there. You will achieve greater heights and will be soon seen in the public galleries (of the House),” he said.

Taking a veiled jibe at Rahul Gandhi, who is currently in Jharkhand for his ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’, PM Modi said, “Ek hi product baar-baar launch karne ke chakkar mein, Congress ki dukaan tala lagne ki naubat aa gayi hai (Congress’ shop on verge of closure in its attempt to launch same product again and again)”.

“The Congress cannot even imagine the speed with which work is being done in the country today. We built 4 crore houses for the poor, out of which 80 lakh pucca houses were built for the urban poor. If work had been done at the speed of Congress, it would have taken 100 years to complete this much work, 100 generations would have passed,” the Prime Minister said.

Continuing his attack on the Congress, PM Modi claimed that many candidates of the party were looking to change their seats in the upcoming elections.

“I see that many of you (Opposition) have even lost the courage to contest elections. Some seats were changed last time too, I have heard that many people are looking to change their seats this time as well. I have also heard that many people now want to go to Rajya Sabha instead of Lok Sabha. They are looking for their paths by assessing the situation,” he said.

The Prime Minister also said that the Congress had a good opportunity to play a good opposition, but failed in that role. “There are other young people in the opposition, but they were not allowed to speak out of fear that it may overshadow a particular person,” he said.
