Congress failed due to its arrogance, betrayed DMK: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp attack on Congress, accusing it of blaming 'the whole world' for its electoral defeats due to its arrogance and alleging that it betrayed its ally DMK in Tamil Nadu. While addressing a public meeting near HAL Airport in Bengaluru, he stated that while the BJP is achieving electoral victories, Congress, which had over 400 seats about 40 years ago, has failed to cross the 100-seat mark in the last three Lok Sabha elections.
He criticized Congress for its arrogance, stating that it blames the Constitution, democracy, constitutional institutions, and courts for its failures, and noted that he has never seen any mainstream political party behave in such a manner. He mentioned that Congress is so deep in its defeat that it has no option but to resort to abusive language. He emphasized that the welfare of the people is everything for BJP governments, highlighting that 250 million people have risen out of poverty.
He stated that the BJP's slogan is 'Sabka Kalyan' (Welfare for All) and its model is 'Good Governance', which is why people are giving the BJP a chance to serve them again. He pointed out that Congress governments in the states do not return to power for a second term, as dissatisfaction among the people begins within a year of their coming to power, attributing this to Congress's tendency to deceive. He remarked that Congress's guarantees are also false and that there is no chapter on 'Good Governance' in Congress's book.
He noted that in Karnataka, the government has spent most of its time resolving internal conflicts rather than addressing people's problems, leaving uncertainty about the Chief Minister's tenure. Modi also mentioned that during the election process in Tamil Nadu, Congress's ecosystem in Delhi was trying to mislead the country, and despite the results being declared on May 4, a government has yet to be formed in Kerala. He commented that this ecosystem remains silent regarding Kerala and is uncertain about whether they will have two chief ministers for five years or one each year.
He accused Congress of betraying its own leaders after making promises, citing examples from Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan, and stated that the same is happening in Karnataka and Kerala. He expressed surprise at the situation in Himachal Pradesh, where Congress is unable to pay its employees. Modi stated that in Telangana, farmers are being driven to suicide, and wherever Congress is in power, either the treasury is looted for appeasement politics or there are internal disputes over the looted money.
He concluded by stating that Congress has become identified as a deceitful party, and whenever it gets a chance, it betrays its own leaders, emphasizing that there is no one whom Congress has not betrayed. He noted that Congress had a strong relationship with DMK for 30 years, and it was due to this alliance that Congress remained in power. However, he pointed out that despite this long-standing relationship and DMK's consistent support for Congress, as soon as the power dynamics shifted, Congress betrayed DMK.
