Union Minister Chirag Paswan shot back at Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge over his remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Malikarjun Kharge on Wednesday took a jibe at PM Modi, alleging that he would sell the country one day.
Reacting to his remarks while speaking to ANI, Chirag Paswan said, “I don’t understand how people start insulting the country while opposing one person… These are the same people during whose tenure the country saw one big scam after another… I don’t think that after such statements, any Indian will ever be able to respect him. It is a matter of concern if Mallikarjun Kharge actually has such thoughts”, Chirag Paswan told ANI a day earlier.
Speaking at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) session in Ahmedabad, Kharge said that a monopoly had been installed in the country’s economy, and public property was being handed over to private lands.
“Monopoly is being installed in the country’s economy… public properties are being handed over to private lands. The reservation of EWS has been hit. They do not want to provide jobs… they are selling the public sector one by one and helping their friends. If this works, then one day, the Modi government and Modi himself will sell this country. Modi is finishing the public sector factories that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru built. What are you and I doing for the country? What do we want to give to the future generations? He has no answers except abusing the Congress…” Kharge said, speaking at the session.
Taking a jibe at the Central government, Kharge said that the government had been meddling in everything and was establishing their dominance everywhere.
“Today, the election institutions are also under their control, and the government is meddling in everything and establishing its dominance everywhere. Scams are taking place in elections,” Kharge said.-ANI
