Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge responded sharply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remark that Congress is running an “urban Naxal” party and called the BJP a party of terrorists.
Dismissing PM Modi’s claim, Kharge said, “Modi always labels Congress as an urban Naxal party… It’s his habit. But what about his own party? BJP is a party of terrorists, involved in lynchings. Modi has no right to make such accusations”.
Prime Minister Modi has twice, on various occasions, stated that urban Naxals run the Congress.
On October 5, PM Narendra Modi stated that the Congress is being controlled by a group of urban Naxals and urged people to come together to defeat the party’s “dangerous agenda”.
PM Modi said this while addressing a gathering near Washim in Maharashtra’s Vidarbha region ahead of the assembly elections.
“They think that if we all unite, then their agenda to divide the country will fail. Everyone can see how closely Congress stands with people who don’t harbour good intentions for India. The Congress wants to keep Dalits as Dalits, the poor as poor. So, beware of the Congress. Urban Naxals are running the Congress. The party wants to divide the country, so it is trying to divide us. So, be united to foil the Congress party’s plot. This is the time to be together,” he had said in the rally.
He again mentioned “urban naxals” after the BJP won Haryana Assembly elections on October 9.
After virtually launching various development projects in Maharashtra on October 9, PM Modi said the BJP’s victory in the Haryana elections shows the mood in the country and the people have shown they will not fall prey to the hateful conspiracies of the Congress and “urban Naxals”.
