Congress stopped its criticism of Ambani and Adani ever since LS poll notification was announced: Modi

Prime Minister Modi accuses Congress of stopping criticism of industrialists, questions if there are any secret deals with industrialists, and warns against appeasement politics.

Launching a frontal attack on the Congress party, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has alleged that the Congress party stopped its bitter criticism of Ambani and Adani ever since the Lok Sabha election notification was announced. They (Congress leaders) resorted to non-stop rhetoric against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) citing the names of “five industrialists” spreading false narratives in the last five years, he charged.

“Why did they stop criticising these big industrialists all of a sudden? What transpired behind the abrupt halt to the rhetoric? Is it because of black money transactions or any secret deal to fund the Congress party?” Mr. Modi asked.

The Congress leaders owe an explanation to people of the nation in this regard, he said while addressing an election meeting in Telangana’s famous temple town of Vemulawada on Wednesday.

Mr. Modi offered special prayers and performed the traditional “Kode Mokku” ritual at the famous Sri Raja Rajeshwara Swamy temple, popularly known as Kashi of the South, in Vemulawada of Rajanna Sircilla district.

He addressed an election meeting in the temple town to drum up support for the BJP candidate from the Karimnagar Lok Sabha constituency Bandi Sanjay Kumar, the sitting MP and the party national general secretary.

Mr. Modi reiterated his charge that the persons at the helm in the current dispensation in Telangana were imposing “RR” tax to send the proceedings to their bosses in Delhi. Without naming anyone, he said, “One RR is looting and giving it to another R in Delhi. The RR collections exceeded the famous “RRR” film’s collections to the tune of ₹1000 crore. RR will ruin Telangana in no time,” he said.

Both the Congress and the BRS are partners of corruption syndicate, and corruption and family rule are their common characteristics, he charged, saying “It is imperative to rid Telangana of the family ruled parties for a bright future for the State.”
