Blind Opposition Is Disrespecting Democracy: PM Modi At LS

New Delhi: Addressing the Lok Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi slams opposition and says that โ€˜blind opposition is disrespecting democracy.โ€™  As protests begin from Opposition benches, Modi says since you used Parliament for party matters, I have to respond. โ€œDespite losing so many elections, your arrogance (ahankar) doesnโ€™t go and neither does your ecosystem let it. If we lose one, then we are attacked for daysโ€.

Listing the states from where Congress is out of power since years, PM Modi said, โ€œTake for instance, people of Nagaland voted for you in 1998, Since then you didnโ€™t win. Odisha also hasnโ€™t voted for you for 24 years. Goa hasnโ€™t voted for you as a majority for years. In Bengal, they voted for you in 1972, in Tamil Nadu, too, they voted last for you in 1962.โ€

Modi further slammed opposition and said that they sinned by asking migrants to travel during pandemic. He said, โ€œWhen health experts were telling people to stay where they are, you sinned by telling migrants you would give them tickets. You encouraged people (from Bihar and other) to travel. The Delhi government too organised buses to make migrants travel. The result โ€“ the pandemic spread in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab. What kind of politics is this?โ€

Modi points out at the opposition-ruled states, and alleges, โ€œYou people pushed the labourers into difficultiesโ€.

All this, he said, was done because โ€œsome people thought Corona will ruin Modiโ€™s image.โ€

โ€œIs it country not yours or the people? Arenโ€™t their happiness sorrows yours as well?โ€ he questions.

He asks, โ€œSuch a big problem came, how many elected leaders requested people to wear masks, wash hands, practice social distancing. If they told the public so, what would have BJP government or Modi benefited?โ€

Further he says that he has decided to stay in power for 100 years. โ€œFrom your words, from your actions, it seems to me that you have decided that you donโ€™t want to come to power for 100 years. So I have also prepared for it,โ€ says PM Modi.
