In an apparent response to the opposition chants targeting him over the Adani Group, PM Modi said the “lotus (BJP’s symbol) will bloom no matter how much mud you throw at us”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a new attack on the Gandhis, questioned why none of them used the name “Nehru” after Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, reported NDTV.
“If we miss out on mentioning Nehru anywhere, they (Congress) get upset. Nehru was such a great person, then why does none of them use the Nehru surname? What is the shame in using the Nehru name,” PM Modi questioned in Rajya Sabha, replying to a debate on the President’s speech. “This country is not the property of any family.”
“They say we trouble states, but they have toppled elected state governments 90 times. One Congress PM used Article 356 fifty times to dismiss elected state governments. That was Indira Gandhi,” the Prime Minister said.

For helping the lotus bloom and flourish, we will thank the opposition,” PM Modi said.
