Theni (TN): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday sought to corner the Congress on its showpiece poll promise of “Nyay,” and sought to know who would do justice for the victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots, violence against Dalits, and the Bhopal gas tragedy under its regime.
The Prime Minister addressing the poll rally, a day after the campaign by Congress president Rahul Gandhi, alleged stating that the Congress and dishonesty were best friends but sometimes “by mistake,” they end up speaking the truth.
“Now they are saying “Ab Hoga Nyay” (justice will be done now) even if they did not intend, they have admitted that all they have done is “anyay” or injustice for 60 long years,” (during the Congress rule), he said.
“I want to ask the Congress party who will do Nyay to the victims of 1984 Sikh riots ? Who will do Nyay to all the victims of anti Dalit violence? Who will do Nyay to the government of great M G Ramachandran ji, which was dismissed by the Congress just because one family did not like those leaders? Who will do Nyay to the victims of the Bhopal gas tragedy, among the worst environmental disaster in India?”, asked the Prime Minister.
Modi pointed out that such infamous incidents occurred during the Congress rule.
“Remember that for making a prosperous Tamil Nadu, this game of the DMK and Congress must end. We must continue working for the prosperity of our Srilankan Tamil brothers and we must end the dynasty rule of corrupt families,” he told the crowd.
“Whenever they are in government they always loot, the Madhya Pradesh government has become their ATM, they are diverting money meant for poor and children for use in their election, this has become known as the ‘Tughlaq Road scam,’ I am sure you all know which big Congress leader stays on Tughlaq Road in New Delhi.”, he asserted.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami lashed out at the DMK asking it to clarify whom it would support in neighbouring Kerala, whether the Congress or the CPI (M).
“Today India is rapidly making a mark in the world. The Congress, DMK and their mahamilavati friends cannot accept this. That is why they are unhappy with me,” he said.
Taking pot shots at the DMK President MK Stalin’s proposal naming Congress chief Rahul Gandhi as Prime Ministerial candidate, the prime minister said that there were no takers for this among the opposition “because they are in line to be the PM and dream of the post.” (PTI)
