PM Modi using the language of a ‘cheap villain from a C-grade Hindi film’ in Jharkhand campaign: Congress
The Hindu
Congress accuses PM Modi of lowering discourse, predicts BJP loss in Maharashtra and Jharkhand polls, criticizes language and policies.
The Congress on Tuesday (November 5, 2024) accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “lowering” the level of discourse during the ongoing Assembly election campaign, claiming that it is a sign that the BJP is set to lose the upcoming polls in Maharashtra and Jharkhand.
Mr. Modi had launched a no-holds-barred attack on the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha-led coalition in Jharkhand on Monday (November 4, 2024), labelling it a ghuspaithiya bandhan (infiltrators’ alliance) for “supporting Bangladeshi infiltrators”.
Responding to the comments, Congress leader Pawan Khera said that it did not behove the Prime Minister to use language similar to that of a “cheap villain from a C-grade Hindi film”.
“You should uphold the dignity of your office,” Mr Khera said, admonishing Mr. Modi in a video statement posted on X.
Noting that border security came under the domain of the Union government, Mr. Khera asked if the PM’s comments were meant to criticise his own Home Minister Amit Shah.
“He is now talking of ‘ghuspaithiya’ sarkar, that it will snatch your daughters and food. But, border security is under them [the Union Home Ministry] as he has been in government for over 10 years. Who is he giving this certificate to? The Border Security Force, the Home Minister, [Defence Minister] Rajnath Singh, or are you criticising your foreign policy?” Mr. Khera asked. “Whatever their differences, he should improve his language. Such language and dialogues are not befitting of the Prime Minister’s post,” he noted.
