Nagpur, Nov 9 (UNI) Congress president and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, on Saturday attacked BJP for diverting attention from alleged failures and accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of attempting a ‘divide and cut’ policy with contradictory slogans.
Talking to media persons here, he referred to the PM’s slogan of ‘Ek Hain to Safe Hain’ and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s catchphrase of ‘Batenge to Katenge’, and termed them as provocative and intended to distract public attention.
“One says ‘Batenge to Katenga’ and another says ‘Ek Hain to Safe Hain’… The truth is that you are the ones who divide and also cut, but always blame others. Both of them should first sit down and decide what slogan to raise…,” said Kharge in a swipe at Modi and Yogi.
Accusing the PM of peddling lies on every occasion, he said the Congress has successfully implemented all its guarantees in the states where it is ruling, the UPA government gave the country MG-NREGA, Food Security Bill, Right to Information, Right to Education, etc.
Earlier in the day, Kharge paid homage at the revered Deekshabhoomi monument and later went to address an election rally in Amravati for Nov 20 assembly polls in the state, with plans to release the Congress Manifesto in Mumbai on Sunday (tomorrow).
